FOREWORD

The St. Lawrence river valley of Ontario, and in particular the
Counties of Stormont and Dundas, was the ancestral home of the
Loyalist Aults who first settled there during the American War of
Independence — the Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Some of
their descendants still reside in these two Counties, but many live
elsewhere in Canada and the United States.

In this Ault Genealogy the origins of the "Ault Family in Eu-
rope" are traced back to around the year 1400 when they lived in
northern France. The Ault connections were severed some 10 gen-
erations later when a Johannes Ault of Amsterdam came to British
Colonial America in 1753.

The Genealogy then delves into the "Ault Family in North
America," beginning with our Emigrant Ancestor Johannes Ault,
and continuing through nine generations of Aults. In this process
you will find that Johannes Ault and five of his sons — Nicholas,
Conrad, John, Michael and Everhart — became Loyalists during
the American Revolution. The Ault Genealogy is devoted to them
and to their descendants. Four of Johannes's sons — Frederick,
David, Henri and George — decided to remain in America and they
are not included in this Genealogy.

No evidence has been found in the Library of Congress, in the
Archives of the United States, in the Public Archives of Canada, or
in the Archives of Ontario that a Genealogy of the Ault Family
has been published in North America.

The individual genealogies in this book have been organized in
a format adapted from the one recommended by the New England
Historical and Genealogical Record.

Ault descendants are urged to use the blank pages in the back
of this book for their own initial efforts at keeping family records.
I hope an Ault descendant will rewrite the Genealogy a few dec-
ades from now. When and if you are ready to dispose of this book,
please donate it to your Local, State or Provincial Genealogical
Society, Historical Society or Library.

There are some omissions in this genealogy that can be ac-
counted for by the passage of time, the loss of records and the fail-
ure of individuals to supply authorities with requested information.
Some Aults have chosen to become anonymous and some have
been placed in this category because their antecedents could not

be documented. A few Aults exhibited a complete lack of interest
in the Ault Genealogy and this is noted with regret.

Finally — The Ault Genealogy has been compiled and written
by an amateur whose previous writing experience has been limited
to material published in Medical Journals and Textbooks. Some
unavoidable errors may be encountered, but most of the informa-
tion will be found to be reasonably correct.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The task of searching, researching, compiling and writing The
Ault Genealogy has been a pleasant endeavor. The work has ex-
tended over a period of eight rewarding years — a brief time in
genealogical circles. None of this could have been accomplished
without the generous informative help of many Ault descendants
and their friends. Their responses to my requests for information
have been remarkable. Their correspondence has lightened the
task, and their encouragement has provided this retired surgeon
with many hours of sustained interest in the family.

What might be termed historical information was obtained
from Family Bible records of Births, Baptisms, Marriages, Deaths,
News Items and Obituaries. Other sources were Church and Ceme-
tery records, gravestone inscriptions and epitaphs. Information
from Upper Canada Land records, Petitions, Vital Statistics and
other records in the Archives of Ontario, and in the Public Archives
of Canada was obtained from the efficient and helpful staff of
both Archives. Their kindness and help are appreciated.

What might be termed contemporary information was obtained
by voluminous correspondence between the writer and many Ault
descendants and their friends. Many shared their own family gene-
alogies with me and they have my everlasting thanks for their gen-
erosity.

It would require many additional pages to thank each person
for their response to my inquiries. I am grateful for the help. of
the following who are listed in alphabetical order. Mrs. Ansel A.
Ault, Mrs. Arthur Donald Ault, Bromwell Ault Jr., Charles Wesley
Ault, John W. Ault, Laura Hattie Ault, Lawrence V. Ault,
Mrs. Lloyd C. Ault, Mrs. Malcolm F. Ault, Orvill Ault, William G.
Ault, Mrs. Wm. W. Ault, Mrs. D. Connell, Mrs. R. Falkingham,
Mrs. D. Ferguson, Mrs. W.R. Kenny, Douglas McKendry, Mrs. C.
McNabb, Mrs. J. Webber.

I would be remiss if I failed to acknowledge that the Ault
Genealogy could not have been written without help from and
access to the following, listed in alphabetical order.

The late Charles Albert Ault of Glendale, Ohio kindly brought
his mother's typescript to Washington in June 1975. My copy of
this has been an invaluable source of information. (See Helene B.
Ault.)

The late Mrs. Charles Sidney Ault of Rexdale and Ingleside in
Ontario had a legendary memory and a wealth of information that
she shared with contagious enthusiasm. The Aultsville Aults were
of great interest to her. Our correspondence began in 1974 and
ended when she died, at the age of 99, in July 1978. Her interest
in the family never failed, and her enthusiastic support will not be
forgotten.

Dennis Edwin Ault and his mother, Mrs. Russell J. Ault, have
my sincere thanks for sending considerable information on the
Aults of Dundas Co.

Earl Nelson Ault of Cornwall was always ready and able to
provide me with information on the Aults of Cornwall, their de-
scendants and the Ault Parks. The geographic changes in the area
due to the development of Lake St. Lawrence were clarified by his
welcome and helpful letters.

I am indebted to Edwin F. Ault Esq. of Weston, Ont. for
photocopies of the genealogical material in the Ault Family Bibles
and for sending a rubbing and description of the 1867 Confedera-
tion Medal that was awarded to the Hon. Samuel Ault M.P. The
material from the Bibles has been of substantial value.

My cousin, George Alfred Ault Esq. of Ottawa has my thanks
for adding considerable vital information to the genealogy by ob-
taining material on Upper Canada Land Grants and Petitions.

The Helene Bromwell Ault two Vol. Typescript of 1950 has
been an invaluable source of information. Vol. I titled "The Ault
Family in Picardy" that she abstracted from the Ault Papers, has
provided most of the information for the present chapter on "The
Aults in Europe." The genealogical information she collected for
Vol. II titled "The Ault Family in Ontario" formed the back-
ground for 'The Aults in North America." Her Typescripts reflect
the keen interest and the fine investigative capacity of Helene B.
Ault. I am most grateful to the late Charles A. Ault II for provid-
ing access to her important work.

Marion Isabelle Ault of Buffalo contributed information that
enabled me to complete this branch of the family and Mrs. Malcolm
F. Ault sent material that enabled me to complete another branch
of the family. My thanks have been sent to both contributors.

Several Ault family lines have been completed through the
kindness of Orvill Ault of Ottawa and I appreciate his help.

A number of descendants in the Nicholas— Samuel Ault line
were correctly placed in the genealogy as a result of corespond-
ence with Samuel G.K. Ault of Winchester. My thanks for his help

are again on record.

Stanley Colborne Ault of Spokane kindly sent copies of gene-
alogical material that his grandmother, Mrs. Nelson Ault of Corn-
wall, began gathering in 1880. This, and information on the Aults
of the Spokane area, helped me finish this line of Aults. I am
grateful to Mr. Ault for his contribution.

It was my good fortune to correspond with Mrs. Victor G.
Ault of Spring Grove, Pa. during the early stages of this project.
Her information, including an Alt family genealogy, made it possi-
ble to separate the Ault and the Alt family lines and to save many
hours of research time. Her assistance is acknowledged with great
appreciation.

William Upshur Ault and his mother Esther Upshur Ault
Meacham kindly sent information and charts that enabled me to
finish the Charles Alexander Ault line.

Significant contributions to this genealogy were made by
many relatives and friends of the Aults. Their names follow in
alphabetical order.

Mrs. Clyde Allan of Winnipeg sent in some fine family records
that added to the Michael Ault line.

Kenneth Annable of Ottawa supplied information that clari-
fied the Annable — Ault relationship.

Mrs. Ray Brown, an avid genealogist of Williamsburg, contrik
uted information on several Ault lines and her reports on grave-
stone inscriptions were especially helpful.

Mrs. James Buels, my aunt Eva Ault, made numerous sugges-
tions as to where I might locate valuable information.

Considerable light was cast on the life of Johannes Ault by
Wanda Burch of Johnstown, N.Y. Her abstracts of the Johnson
Papers were revealing and helpful.

Muriel Davidson has my sincere thanks for sending in copies
of her father's records on the Everhart Ault family.!

I am indebted to the Reverend Duncan Fraser of Johnstown,
N.Y. for his personal letters that demonstrated his superb knowl-
edge of the Mohawk valley, the Johnson Rent Roll, and the Kings-
borough Patent.

Mrs. Garnet Gilmour sent her father's compilation of the de-
scendants of Everhart Ault. My sincere thanks have been sent to
Mrs. Gilmour for this important information.

I am indebted to George Hickey, a lifelong resident of Aults-
ville and Ingleside, for his extremely helpful knowledge of Auits-
ville and environs. His photographs of some of the Ault homes

have been received with great appreciation.

Information about the early Post Offices in Stormont County
has been received with thanks from Robert Ketchum of Cornwall.

Patrick McGurran and his wife Mavis Louisa Ault of St. Paul,
Minn, supplied me with considerable material on the Dakota Aults
and I thank them again for their time and records.

Vital material from the early Church records on Births, Bap-
tisms, Marriages and Deaths, prior to the time of Vital Statistics,
was sent to me by Mrs. L. Merkley of Mesa, Arizona. I am most
grateful for her help, for it enabled me to avoid some omissions
in the records of the early Ault settlers.

Mrs. Darreil Murray of Dallas developed a superb amount of
important information on the Aults of North Dakota. It had the
authentic aura that one would expect for a longtime resident for
she was born and raised there and she had great personal knowl-
edge of the Aults. She generously shared her information and she
has my sincere and grateful appreciation of the voluminous amount
of material that she sent to me.

Miss Lynne O'Brien of Morrisburg has my thanks for kindly
sending me Birth, Baptism, Marriage and Death lists from some of
the Church Registers in Stormont and Dundas.

Mrs. Patricia Thompson of Brinston generously shared her
genealogy records. She also spent endless hours searching the Twp.
files of Matilda and the County files of Dundas for information
that was not available elsewhere. I am extremely grateful for the
information that she sent to me, for her sustained efforts and for
her great interest over the many years that we have corresponded.

John S. Totzeck, Supt. of Fairview Cemetery in Amsterdam,
N.Y. kindly sent information to me on members of the Ault and
Franch families who are buried in that Cemetery.

I am indebted to and thank the staffs of the following: —The
Genealogical Division of the Library of Congress; The Public Ar-
chives of Canada; The Archives of Ontario; The United Empire

THE AULT NAME

The name d'Ault is of medieval French origin and it may be
found in the records of very old French family names such as
St. Valery, Dreux, Artois, Bourgogne, Cleves and others. The tran-
sition from d'Ault to Ault appears to have taken place during the
15th century. Although information is lacking on the relationship
between the family named Ault and the village named Ault, now
Ault-Onival, it is entirely probable that some of the Aults, who
lived in that seacoast village in northwestern France, migrated in-
land — as did Guillaume Ault. The French name Ault has no
known connection with the German word alt, meaning old, or
with the Scottish word alt meaning rill or tiny brook. When two
of the Aults left France in 1670, they took their name with them
and they kept it intact when they lived in Germany and in the
Netherlands. When they lived in British Colonial America and in
Canada the Aults of French origin spelled their name Ault although
others sometimes spelled the name Alt. This difference in spelling
may create problems in researching Ault and Alt family lines, for
several Alt families from the Palatine region of Germany also emi-
grated to British Colonial America in the 1700's. Most of these
German Alts kept their surname but for some unknown reason a
few of the Pennsylvania Alts changed their surname to Ault. As a
result, Ault and Alt have been known to appear on the same grave-
stone in a few of the old Churchyard Cemeteries in the Pennsyl-
vania "Dutch" Country.^

Surname changes are not uncommon, and in 1977 when I was
receiving information from the kind and helpful staff of the Mont-
gomery County Department of History and Archives in Fonda,
N.Y., my correspondent informed me that some Ault families,
probably of Italian descent, were living in the Mohawk river valley.
In her reply to my inquiry, the daughter of one resident replied as
follows: —"Unfortunately we are not connected with the Aults in
your family. We were an Italian family named Audi. My father's
parents came from Italy without papers showing their name. When
my father and his brothers and sisters went to school the teachers
could not understand them, so they wrote down what they thought
they heard and it came out Ault. "2

Another Mohawk valley correspondent replied that their fam-
ily name was changed from Auli to Ault.

Considerable time could be spent presenting evidence that there
is no connection between this line of Aults and Alt, Auld, Auldt,
Olt etc., etc. It would serve no useful purpose, and for the present
it would seem logical to accept the evidence that both the Ault
name and this Ault family had their origin in France. Some of our
antecedents lived for a time in Krefeld in western Germany and in
Amsterdam. Our Emigrant Ancestor came to British Colonial
America as a Dutchman and the Aults considered themselves as
Hollanders, of French origin, when they migrated from the Mohawk
valley to Upper Canada.

THE d'AULT COAT OF ARMS

The d'Ault Coat of Arms appears to be a modification of the
Coat of Arms of the Count of Ponthieu whose fiefdom was the
Barony of Ponthieu. 3 This Barony, created in the 10th century,
was located in western Picardy. Its location and size can be seen
on maps showing the boundaries of France around 1400.4 The
Barony included the seacoast village of Ault, the village of Abbe-
ville and the adjacent lands and villages.

While the Barony was governed by the succeeding Counts of
Ponthieu (male blood line descendants only) it was necessary for
the vassals and supporters of the Count to identify themselves by
the insignia, banners, shields and other armorial items that they
wore or displayed. These bore the Coat of Arms of the Count of
Ponthieu.

Around 1435 control of the Barony passed from the Count of
Ponthieu to the Dukes of Burgundy. During this transition period
if appears that a d'Ault was awarded, or adopted, a Coat of Arms
that was a modified version of the Ponthieu Coat of Arms. Saf-
froy, who included the d'Aults in his listing of the Fiefs and Sig-
neuries in Picardy, and Devisme, who wrote a history of the
d'Aults, indicate that the d'Aults had become members of the land
owning nobility of France. However I have not been able to deter-
mine which member of the d'Ault family received, or adopted, the
d'Ault Coat of Arms. Riestap had accorded the d'Ault Coat of
Arms a place in his Armorial General.^ A drawing of the d'Ault
Coat of Arms is shown on page 4.

The Ault Coat of Arms, drawn from Riestap, is a quartered
shield devoid of a crest, leaves or other accessories. A liberal
French-English description follows: En Cartele Quarteres Anglais
Form d'Ault Ponthieu v.s. — the Coat of Arms of d'Ault Ponthieu
v.s. — is a quartered shield. Quarter 1 consists of an azure field, a
gold cross encree and three silver crescents. Quarter 2 is divided
into nine azure and silver squares. Quarter 3 consists of a white
field speckled with gold and blazoned with three red chevrons.
Quarter four is a silver field blazoned with a red cross.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

One of the objectives of The Ault Genealogy is to assist any
interested individuals in finding their ancestors. If they are de-
scendants of this line of Aults in North America, they are descend-
ants of our Emigrant Ancestor Johannes Ault whose life and times
is the keystone of the "Ault Family in North America." Five
separate Ault genealogies follow in genealogical sequence for Jo-
hannes's Loyalist sons. They, and their descendants, seem to have
pursued their own directions and purposes in life and very little
intermingling of these families can be demonstrated.

If anyone is interested in designing, developing or drawing an
ancestral chart, diagram or family tree, I would suggest that they
obtain some How-To-Do-It books on the subject. As an example,
it might be helpful if I traced my own genealogical direct line of
descent from Johannes. Start with the Index where you will find
me listed as Ault, Garnet W. Turn to the page given and you will
find that I am a 7th generation Ault in the N-Nicholas Ault line
ai»v that my permanent genealogical number is 7 N 98. Following
my name, and my wife's maiden name, carefully note the row of
names without numbers (for the sake of economy). These are my
Ault ancestors and reading from left to right they are, my father
Walter Stanley Ault, my grandfather William Herbert, my great
grandfather Samuel, my great great grandfather Nicholas N., my
great great great grandfather Nicholas and finally my great great
great great grandfather Johannes. On this same page you will find
that my son Richard Pardee Ault has a permanent 8 N number and
his son and daughters have permanent 9 N numbers.

The foregoing is a direct line of descent approach that any
reader can use to trace their way through 8 or 9 generations of
Aults in America and 10 generations of Aults in Europe.

The following direct line of descent, through 9 generations for
Garnet W. Ault, illustrates a method of compiling ancestors that
includes uncles and aunts on the paternal side.

The time-honored method of listing individuals in chronologi-
cal order is followed in this genealogy. As an Ault descendant you
belong in the Nicholas-N line; the Conrad-C line; the John-J line;
the Michael-M line or the Everhart-E line ; and you carry a perma-
nent line of descent number in that line.

The Index is the only place where one may find the names of
Aults and others in alphabetical order. The page number follows
the name. Children of daughters are indexed for their generation
but are not indexed beyond that point.

THE AULT FAMILY IN EUROPE

The Ault Family in Europe begins with Guillaume Ault (ca
1400-ca 1455) and ends, 11 generations later, with Marie Hermione
Ault the 71st recorded member bearing the Ault name in this
genealogy..

Although no family history of this line of Aults has been found
in the United States or Canada, Saffroy of France^ reports that a
history of the d'Ault family was written in 1902 by Georges De-
visme of Amiens. ' The Devisme history is not available in the
Library of Congress and for that reason it has not been researched
by me. My niece, Betty Williams of Milwaukee, took the time to
confirm that the Devisme book was in the Bibliotheque National
in Paris in 1979.8

It appears that most of the information on the Aults, that was
available to Devisme, was also available to a competent researcher
who, in 1899, submitted papers on the Ault family in France to
Levi Addison Ault of Cincinnati. The Ault Papers^ were inherited
by the late Olga Marie Ault Carter and they were abstracted by
Helene Marie Bromwell Ault. In 1950 she compiled a Typescript
of the Ault Papers that she titled "The Ault Family in Picardy."10
When Helene Ault died she left this Typescript and another com-
pilation titled "The Ault Family in Ontario "10 to her son, the late
Charles Albert Ault II of Glendale, Ohio. In June 1975 Charles
kindly brought the two Typescripts to Washington and permitted
me to photocopy the contents. This material has been a priceless
source of information for the present writer.

From the Typescript we learn that a Jean d'Ault was a vassal
to the Count of Ponthieu and that he apparently owned some ten-
ements in Abbeville. In 1419 Jean sold his fief and homage under
the Count of Ponthieu to his younger brother Guillaume Ault.H
The Typescript also indicates that Guillaume and Jean were prob-
ably born in the seacoast village of Ault and that Guillaume, who
moved to Abbeville, was the founding father of this line of Aults
in Picardy. The Aults of Picardy seem to have developed into a
substantial class of farmers, landowners and tradesmen. At first
they lived in and around the village of Cambrai but later most of
them lived within a radius of 100 kilometers of Bavay. They
apparently prospered and began acquiring property and manor
houses that they left to their descendants. They lived in one of

the most accessible and unprotected regions of France, for Picardy
and Flanders were frequent corridors of conflict between France
and her adversaries. This was particularly true during the territor-
ial wars of the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries when France, Spain,
Portugal, England and the emerging Germanic States were at war
with devastating frequency. As a result of this international and
national turmoil it seems quite probable that the Ault properties
were involved in these episodes of occupation by armies that rav-
aged farms, plundered villages and pillaged towns.

During these centuries of conflict, France was also contending
with religious strife within its borders that was centered around
the Huguenot movement. Although this appeared to be a compe-
tition between the Church and the State for the allegiance of the
populace, Louis XIV (1643-1715), and his advisors, soon made it
evident that they wanted France to be a Catholic country. Sup-
pression of the Huguenots was resumed around 1665 and by the
time the Edict of Nantes was revoked in 1685, thousands of
Huguenots had fled to nearby Germany and the Netherlands.

In 1670 Jean Ault, an 8th generation Ault, being born and
raised in the Catholic faith, became involved in the Huguenot
movement. In 1667 Jean had married Henrietta Bouvin whose
parents were Huguenots. In 1670 Jean and Henrietta decided to
leave France. They shed their Catholic faith and joined a Hugue-
not migration to the Netherlands. Their journey to Crefeltl2 [ s
recounted in Jean Ault's genealogy. Jean's unmarried brother
Pierre joined them and went to Rotterdam.

In 1681, while they were living in Crefeld, Jean decided to
send their third child Jacobus to Amsterdam to be apprenticed to
Heinrich Schmelz, a well-known goldsmith and watchmater. Jaco-
bus was a willing and successful apprentice. He stayed in Amster-
dam after he completed his training. When his father died in 1714
Jacobus went to Krefeld to help settle his father's estate and to
dispose of his father's business interests. The Jacobus Ault family
lived in Krefeld from 1714 until 1729. All six of their children
were born in this German village before the family returned to
Amsterdam. Although their oldest son Johannes (ca 1716-1796)
was born in Krefeld, he was raised and educated as a Dutchman in
Amsterdam.

Johannes Ault was a 10th generation — 10 G — Ault in the
European family line. When, at the age of 37, he came to British
Colonial America in 1753 he became a 1st generation — 1 A —
Ault. He also became the Emigrant Ancestor of this Ault family.

GUILLAUME AULT AND HIS DESCENDANTS

1 G 1

GUILLAUME AULT ca 1400-ca 1455

JEANNE BOUGAINVILLE

(GuUlaume Ault.)

Guillaume Ault was probably born in ca 1400 in the village of
Ault. He died, ca 1455, in the village of Cambrai in Picardy and
the location of his burial site has not been found.

Guillaume Ault and Jeanne Bougainville were probably mar-
ried in Picardy.

Jeanne Bougainville — no information.

Guillaume Ault and Jeanne Bougainville had 1 child.

2G2 GuUlaume Ault, b , d ca 1470

Guillaume Ault was the younger brother of Jean Ault who was
a vassal to the Count of Ponthieu. Jean appears to have been in
charge of some tenements in Abbeville that belonged to the Count.
In 1419 Jean, who apparently owned some property in Abbeville,
sold his fief and homage to the Count of Ponthieu to his younger
brother Guillaume. This transaction was recorded in the Archives
of Ponthieu, Titres H 83, Layette de 1419 and a liberal translation
from French to English reads as follows: — "Jean d'Ault Sr., vassal
to the Count of Ponthieu, hereby sells his fief and homage to the
Count in Abbeville, to his younger brother Guillaume Ault and to
his wife Jeanne Bougainville and to their heirs. Guillaume and his
wife thereby become the vassals to the Count of Ponthieu. Wit-
nesses: M Phillipe Ault and Pierre Dudevant."

Information on the parents and birthplace of Jean and GuU-
laume Ault was not obtained from the Archives of Ponthieu. It is
presumed that they, and their antecedents, came from the vUlage
of Ault and that Jean and GuUlaume lived in AbbevUle whUe they
were managing the Count's property.

It is not known how long GuUlaume remained in Abbeville.
He died ca 1455 in the vUlage of Cambrai and at that time Jeanne
BougainvUle made a deposition regarding the disposal of her late
husband's property. The deposition, written in Latin and made in
Cambrai, stated that they had a son named GuUlaume and that

HORTENSE VAUQUELAIN

(Guillaume Ault, Guillaume.)

brai. He died, ca 1470, in Cambrai and his burial site has not been
located.

date unknown.

Hortense Vauquelain — no information.

Very little information could be found on Guillaume and Hor-
tense except to note that Guillaume inherited some tenements in
Abbeville from his father.

The Archives of Ponthieu, Titres H 82 of 1470 reveals that on
7 Sept 1470 a Louis Bougainville, who was a resident of Cambrai
and who formerly was the Guardian of the Seal of the Count of
Pontieu, agreed to donate to the Church of St. Andrew a sum of
40 soles for the soul of the deceased Guillaume Ault who had been
a resident of the village of Cambrai. This amount was to be paid
to the Church during the widowhood of Hortense Vauquelain. The
money was to be obtained from the rents for the various tenements
in Abbeville that were owned by the estate of the late Guillaume
Ault.

JACQUES d'AULT ca 1468-
MARIE de VARENNES

(Jacques d'Ault, Guillaume, Guillaume.)

Jacques d'Ault of Cambrai, the son of Guillaume Ault and Hor-
tense Vauquelain was born ca 1468 in Cambrai. His death date
and burial site have not been located.

Cambrai, according to the Charters of Cambrai H 117.

Marie de Varennes was the daughter of Francois Marie de Var-
ennes and Blanche Marie Therese Lemieux. Her birth and death
dates and burial site are missing. Jacques d'Ault and Marie de Var-

Francois-Pierre Ault, the son of Jacques d'Ault and Marie de
Varennes was probably born in Cambrai. His birth and death
dates have not been located.

Francois-Pierre Ault was married ca 1529. The name of his
wife is missing. Two sons were the issue of this marriage.

Francois-Pierre Ault seems to have been a rather successful
landowner for he became known as the Seigneur de Cambrai. Ap-
parently the Aults had accumulated some property in or near the
village of Cambrai and this may have been the reason he was called
the Seigneur of Cambrai. From this point on it will be of interest
to see that the Aults now began drawing up rental agreements and
began marrying by contract. As their affluence increased they also
began making bequests and wills.

Henri Ault was born and raised in Cambrai. He bought some
property in Cambrai and he was living there when he met and mar-
ried Marie Celine Lachapelle on 3 May 1560. Henri was age 29 at
the time, their marriage was by contract and they lived in Bavay
for the next 34 years.

The marriage contract of Henri Ault and Marie Celine Lacha-
pelle was recorded in the Archives du Nord, Titres de Famille, S.T.
No. 1783, May 3, 1560. The translation from French to English
is as follows: — "Know all men by this announcement that at our
court in Valenciennes, personally established by us, personally ap-
peared Henri Ault, a resident of Bavay and the grandson of the
deceased Jacques d'Ault who was a resident of Cambrai, as party
of the first part and Antoine Lachapelle, Seigneur de Chesney, and
his wife Louise Biron and their eldest daughter Marie Celine La-
chapelle having granted Antoine Lachapelle full authority as party
of the second part granting for themselves and for their heirs all

their real and personal property —.—.—.— Pro Primo, the said Henri
Ault takes the said Marie Celine Lachapelle for his wife. The mar-
riage to take place before the Church — — .— For the support of
the said couple the said Antoine Lachapelle grants a dot of 300
ecus 60 sous each to his daughter Marie Celine Lachapelle, in lieu
of all other claims. The said sum to be paid on the day of the mar-
riage. Upon receipt of the said sum the said Ault assigns all of his
property, including his mansion at Bavay with appurtenances, to
his wife Marie Celine Lachapelle. Should there be male issues one
of the sons is to be designated by the said Ault to receive the moi-
ety of all the property after his death. If the said Ault should die
before his wife, with or without issue, she is to have the usufruct
of all the property with no restrictions or accounting as long as
she remains a widow and provided she brings up the children and
pays all the charges of the estate." Archives du Nord, Titres de
Famille, S. T. No. 1783, May 3 1560.

While Henri and his wife were living in Bavay her father An-
toine Lachapelle died ca 1594. He left the manor and lands in
the Parish of Chesney to Henri de la Croix and Jean Lachapelle.
On 12 Oct 1594 Henri and his wife Marie Celine Lachapelle bought
the manor and lands in Chesney from Henri de la Croix and Jean
Lachapelle for 1000 livres. The transaction has been translated
from French to English as follows: — "Know all men from this
announcement that Henri de la Croix of the Parish of Chesney for
himself and as representing Jean Lachapelle have sold and trans-
ferred to Henri Ault of Bavay and to his wife Marie Celine Lacha-
pelle all of his inheritance as well as all the rights of Jean Lacha-
pelle in the manor and lands of Chesney, as acquired from the heirs
of the deceased Antoine Lachapelle for the sum of 1000 livres."

Henri and Marie moved from the village of Bavay to Chesney
where Henri became known as the Seigneur de Chesney. By Nov 4
1598 Henri and Marie had lived in the manor at Chesney for 4
years and they decided that it was time for them to make gifts to
their children and to Henri's brother Guillaume. Their decision
was recorded in the Archives duNord, Titres de Famille, Tome VII
on 4 Nov 1598. It has been abstracted and translated as follows:—
"Know ye all that at our court in Valenciennes, personally estab-
lished by us, personally appeared Henri Ault, Seigneur de Chesney,
and his wife Marie Celine Lachapelle who has been duly sworn,
and have granted out of their goodwill and without compulsion as
an advance on his inheritance, the lands and appurtenances of
Chesney — the mansion, gardens, arable and uncultivated lands to

their second son Pierre Ault. In addition the said Ault and his
wife have granted to said son Pierre 10 calves, 6 sheep and 20
horses. After the death of our son Pierre the inheritance shall go
to his older brother Jean Pierre provided however if the said Pierre
Ault should marry and have children with his wife, they shall suc-
ceed to this as their inheritance. In addition the manor and lands
at Bavay owned by Henri before his marriage and now occupied
by Henri's brother Guillaume Ault and his wife Marie Angelique
Clara Pascal may be occupied and enjoyed by them for the rest of
their lives. However if the said Guillaume Ault should have chil-
dren by a legal marriage he and they shall have possession of the
said land of Bavay as their inheritance in perpetuity." Written and
signed at my mansion at Chesney 4 Nov 1598 in the presence of
Francois Gaston de la Malque and Ann Joseph de Montes.

Before Henri Ault died ca 1605 in the Parish of Chesney he
made his will on 6 May 1605. It was an extensive document that
reflected his generosity and his worldly success as a farmer and
landowner. It was recorded in the Archives du Nord, Tome XL VI
No. 14, C.P.H. 83 and it was translated as follows: —"Know ye all
by this announcement that I Henri Ault, Seigneur de Chesney, by

and considering that the frailty of human nature is equal to all
men and women and that nothing is certain but death, but the

made the following testament: —

and the Saints of Paradis, I desire to be buried in the parochial

Lachapelle I revoke all former wills, codiciles or donations and de-
clare this to be my last Testament."

On 2 Sept 1607 Marie Celine Lachapelle made her will in her
mansion in the Parish of Chesney. She requested burial in the local
Church in the tomb of her ancestors.

"Item: I give and bequeath a sum of 20 livres to each of the
following: — my son Jean Pierre Ault, his wife Desilda Vaillancourt
and their children Jean, Marie Louise, Joseph Alfred and Joseph

I hereby annul and revoke all former wills, codiciles and dona-
tions and declare this to be my last testament."

After obtaining dispensation from the Bishop on 3 June 1599

were observed on 9 June 1599 when Pierre Ault and Marguerite
Lizotte were married in the Church of Ste. Marie in the Parish of
Chesney.

Shortly after their marriage, Pierre and Marguerite moved to
the village of Maubeuge and while living there Pierre's father Henri
died in 1605. They were still living in Maubeuge when Pierre died
in 1649. His mother had died in 1607. Pierre's will, written on 7
Oct 1649, was recorded in the Archives of Maubeuge Tome LXVI
189, H. The translation follows: —

"As all who are born are subject to an end, I Pierre Ault in my
mansion in the village of Maubeuge considering that in this world
nothing is so certain as death, but the hour thereof is unknown,
and not desiring to die without having disposed of the goods that
God has granted to me in this world as well as to prevent dissen-
tions between my children after my death, being of good mind and
memory and without any persuasion but of my own free will and
desire have made the following dispensation in my own handwriting.

First in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost
Amen. I recommend my soul to God, to my dear Mother the
Blessed Virgin Mary and to all the Saints of Paradis, male and fe-
male, praying them to humbly intercede for me before the Creator
of this world that He, out of His grace may pardon my transgres-
sions. I will that my body be buried in the Church of this village
and I request that my dear wife not display any wealth or splendor,
nor have my body lie in state or on display but that I be buried
like the unknown poor.

I declare that I have married Mademoiselle Marguerite Lizotte.

My son Maurice is to have his inheritance from his grandfather
Henri Ault and to have the sum of 200 livres and to be my heir.

I bequeath 200 livres each to my children Francois-Georges,
Ferdinand and Beatrice.

I bequeath 200 livres to each of the following: — to my bro-
ther Jean Pierre Ault of Montherme, to my sister Marie Celine
Ault the widow of Henri Bouvier of Valenciennes, to my grand-

children Jean, Pierre, Joseph, Angelique, Antoine and Louis who
are the children of Maurice and Angelique Duval.

I bequeath 200 livres to my grandson Raoul Ault who is the
son of Francois-Georges and Aurelia Martineau.

I bequeath the real and personal residue of my estate to my
wife Marguerite Lizotte whom I nominate as my administratrix to
use and dispose of same at her pleasure on condition that she pays
my debts and these bequests.

I revoke all former wills and declare this to be my last testa-
ment."

The children of Pierre Ault and Marguerite Lizotte remained
in northern France while Marguerite continued to live in Mau-
beuge. In 1670 Marguerite decided to leave Maubeuge and move
to Crefeld to live with her grandson Jean Ault. While living there
she wrote her will in French on 4 June 1672 according to the
Records Cole-Duval, Tome LX, No. 83.

Pierre Ault, in his lifetime Sieur de Maubeuge, being advanced in
years and desiring to arrange my estate while I am still alive and in
the interest of the children and heirs herein named.

leaving a wife, Angelique Duval and their children Jean, Pierre,
Joseph, Angelique, Antoine and Louis. My son Francois-Georges
is a travelling journeyman living in Montherme with his wife Aure-
lia Martineau and their son Raoul Ault. Ferdinand is my youngest
son who is married to Marie Dudevant and they have 4 children
Marie, Ferdinand, Jacques and Maurice. Beatrice Ault, my daugh-
ter, was the wife of the deceased merchant Jean Jacques Roussilon.
They have 4 children Marie, Jean, Henri and Pierre. Francois Li-
zotte is the son of my brother Francois Lizotte and his wife Martha
Le Grand.

Item: In the division of my estate I desire that my daughter
Beatrice Ault, the widow of Jean Jacques Rousillon, shall have my
house at Maubeuge when she wishes and she is to pay the actual
expense for this. She may also have all the linen, furniture beds
and clothing in advance.

Item: I bequeath the sum of 100 livres to my grandson Pierre
Ault who went to Rotterdam in the Netherlands in 1670 and mar-
ried Elsje Wark and had a son Jan.

Item : My nephew Ferdinand Lizotte is to have my seal ring.

Item: My son Maurice Ault is my creditor in the sum of 200
livres given to him by my mother Catherine Bouchard, the widow

to my grandson Pierre Ault, the son of Maurice.

Item: I hereby bequeath and transfer my estate, particularly
my farm with appurtenances at Montherme to my grandson Jean
Ault, his wife Henrietta Bouvin and their children Henri, Jean,

Joseph Pierre Ault, 1 of 4 children of Jean-Pierre Ault and De-
silda Vaillancourt, was born before 1605 in the village of Mon-
therme. He was living with the family in Montherme when he re-
ceived a legacy of 300 ecus from the 1605 will of his grandfather
Henri. He also received a legacy of 20 livres from the 1607 will
of his grandmother, Marie Celine Lachapelle.

MAURICE AULT 1600-1659
* ^ T GELIQUE DUVAL -1682

(Maurice Ault, Pierre. nri, Francois-Pierre, Jacques, Guillaume,
Guillaume.)

Maurice Ault, the first of 4 children of Pierre Ault and Mar-
guerite Lizotte, was born on 27 Mar 1600 in the village of Mau-
beuge in Picardy. He was baptised by the Parish Priest on 4 Apr
1600 in the presence of his godfather Maurice Bouchard, and his
godmother Marie Celine Lachapelle. He died on 2 April 1659 in
Maubeuge, and he was buried in the Tomb of his ancestors in
Bavay.

Maurice Ault and Angelique Duval were married, by contract,
on 5 June 1636 in Maubeuge. The witnesses were M. Jean Jacques
Rousillon, Francois-Georges Ault and Marie Duval.

Angelique Duval, the daughter of M. Jean Duval and Louise
Charpentier, was probably born in Maubeuge. She died on 9 Dec
1682 in Quesnoy and she was buried in the Church at Quesnoy.

Maurice Ault and Angelique Duval had 6 children.

Maurice Ault has already been identified in the wills of his par-
ents and his grandparents Henri Ault and Marie Celine Lachapelle.
He was age 36 when he married Angelique Duval by contract. The

contract is omitted from this genealogy. However the Duval Reg-
ister, the Duval Greffe s 76, contains the following informative
deposition dated 2 May 1638. "Maurice Ault of the village of
Maubeuge and his wife Angelique Duval, daughter of the deceased
M. Jean Duval, make the following deposition: — Although they
have been married for 2 years under their marriage contract for
the mutual ownership of property, they agree that the ownership
of the Duval farm that Angelique inherited from her father, who
died in 1638, shall be her exclusive property, and Maurice Ault
hereby relinquishes all rights and interest therein."

On 2 Oct 1650, Maurice bought a house and some property
near the village of Baupaume, and on 11 Oct 1650 he transferred
the ownership of this to his brothers Francois-Georges and Ferdi-
nand.

On 2 Oct 1650, Maurice bought a house outside of Baupaume.
He paid 200 livres for this and he registered the property in his
name, his wife's name and in the interests of his 6 children. The
house was sold to Maurice by Jean Charpentier, Louis Bouvin, and
Marie and Charles Martineau of Baupaume. The papers of sale
were witnessed by Pierre Morin, Jacques Colin and Louise Marie
Fournier and the contract was recorded in the Archives of Bau-
paume C C 143/9H. At a later date Maurice transferred the owner-
ship of this property to his brothers Francois-Georges and Ferdi-
nand.

Maurice Ault was a successful farmer and nail manufacturer
who acquired considerable property in his lifetime. He was an
ardent Catholic who supported his King and he was a Colonel in a
regiment of cavalry in the service of his Majesty from 1652 to
1658. When he died at the age of 59 on 2 April 1659, his 6 chil-
dren were all minors between the age of 11 and 19. He died before
his two eldest sons Jean age 30 and Pierre age 28 renounced their
Catholic faith and fled to the Netherlands in 1670. As a result
they forfeited their inheritance and interest in the property of
their parents and grandparents.

On 4 June 1658, Maurice and his wife Angelique made a joint
will that was found in the records of the village of Baupaume Vol
LXII, 84 H. "—.—.— and desiring to dispose of what property God
has granted to us in this world we give and bequeath to our eldest
son Jean Ault, to our next son Pierre Ault and to our children Jo-
seph, Angelique, Antoine and Louis and to all their heirs and suc-
cessors. We desire them to comply with the following provisions
and to live in a fraternal relationship.

We request that a tombstone be erected and that the said tes-
tator be buried in Bavay with his ancestors. The funeral to be as
plain as possible. In accordance with the usual custom we request
that 6 hogsheads of barley and 6 patacoons of silver be distributed
to the poor. We request that 200 masses, 100 for each of us, be
given for our souls and we pray that the priest will give these with-
out delay.

We desire that the possessor of our lands in Solesmes shall
yearly give one half patacoon of silver to the cure at Bavay — .— .—
and to the Churchwarden for a mass in our Dame de Lorette in
Bavay.

son Jean Ault.

Our donations of 1 Aug 1657 to our son Jean are hereby an-
nuled.

The Executors of our estate are our brother Francois-Georges
Ault residing in Montherme and Jean Duval. "

4 June 1658 Maurice Ault & Angelique Duval

Maurice Ault died on 2 Apr 1659 which was one year after he
had made the joint will with his wife. On 19 June 1682, his widow
Angelique Duval made her last will and testament when she was
living in her manor at Quesnoy. Her will was entered in the rec-
ords of the village of Quesnoy, Tome LXII, 117 H.
"In the name of God, Amen.

This 19th day of June 1682 appeared Jean Boucart priest and
cure of Quesnoy and supporting witnesses before Angelique Duval
of Quesnoy, stating that she is the widow of Maurice Ault who
was the owner of lands and manors in Solesmes, Quesnoy, Mau-
beuge, Bertaimont and Baupaume. She was confined to her manor
but she was of good mind and memory. She has received the last
sacraments as she feels the approach of death. Her last will and
testament has been translated as follows: — 'Having recommended
my soul to God for His mercy through the Virgin Mary and the
Saints of Paradis, she desires that her body be buried in the Church

at Quesnoy in accordance with her station in life.

She gives the furniture in her home at Bertaimont to her son
Joseph of Bertaimont.

She gives 1 livre each to her son Pierre Ault who went to Rot-
terdam in 1670 and to his wife Elsje Wark and their son Jan.

She gives 1 livre each to her son Jean Ault who went to Cre-
feld in 1670 with his wife Henrietta Bouvin and their children
Jacques, Henri, Jean, Pierre Morris, Angelique and Margaret.

She gives 100 francs to her grandson Maurice Ault who is the
son of Antoine Ault and Marie Duchamel of Bertaimont, to assist
him in the purchase of a horse.

She gives 6 sheep to her daughter Angelique of Quesnoy.

She gives the manor Duval in Maubeuge to her son Louis who
is presently a resident of Bertaimont.' "

(Jean Ault, Maurice, Pierre, Henri, Francois-Pierre, Jacques, Guil-

Jean (Johannes) Ault, one of 6 children of Maurice Ault and
Angelique Duval, was born ca 1640 in the village of Maubeuge in
the Province of Picardy. He was baptised on 11 June 1640 in
Maubeuge in the presence of his godfather Dr. Antoine Bissot, and
his godmother Marie Magdelene Bissot, the daughter of Dr. Bissot.
His name was changed to Johannes when he became a citizen resi-
dent of Crefeld in the Netherlands. He died 7 Aug 1714 in Kre-
feld in Germany, and his burial site has not been located.

I Jean Ault and Henrietta Bouvin were married, by contract, on
4 Nov 1667 in Quesnoy in Picardy.

Henrietta Bouvin was the daughter of the French Huguenots
Henri Bouvin and Marguerite Bedard. She was born in 1645 in
Picardy, and she died, age 47, in 1692 in Crefeld. Her burial site
has not been located.

Jean Ault and Henrietta Bouvin had 6 children. The first three
were born in Quesnoy, France, and .the next three were born in
Crefeld in the Netherlands and were given Dutch names.

Jean Ault, who was born in the village of Maubeuge in Picardy,
was age 19 when his father Maurice died on 2 Apr 1659. His father
had written his will on 4 June 1658 and he had named Jean as the
inheritor of the manor and farms at Quesnoy. He had also named
Jean to receive the residue of his estate. When Jean's mother
Angelique Duval wrote her will on 9 Dec 1682, she left 1 livre to
Jean and to each member of his family who by 1682 had lived in
Crefeld for the past 12 years. When Jean's grandfather Pierre Ault
made his will on 7 Oct 1649, he left 200 livres to Jean. When his
grandmother Marguerite Lizotte made her will on 4 June 1672,
she left the farm and appurtenances at Montherme to Jean, and
she also made him a residuary legatee of her estate in spite of the
fact he was a French refugee who had been a resident of Dutch
Crefeld since 1670.

Jean Ault seems to have had a normal early life in Picardy
among his relatives, family and friends. In 1670 when he was age
30, he was a member of a rather prosperous Catholic family, he
had inherited property, and he had a wife and 3 children— one a
newborn. However he was living in an era of great social, political
and economic unrest in France. The bitter territorial wars involv-
ing France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany and Eng-
land had kept western Europe in a frustrating endless turmoil. In
1667, the year Jean and Henrietta were married, France and the
Netherlands began another war, and the armies of Louis XIV of
France began marching back and forth through Picardy and Flan-
ders.

During this time there was increasing harassment and persecu-
tion of the Huguenots, who by choice, or necessity, were fleeing
to the nearby towns and villages of the Netherlands and Germany.
Jean's wife, Henrietta was the daughter of Huguenot parents
whose fate was unknown, but who might have fled to Crefeld,
which had become a haven for French Huguenots.

In 1670 Jean and Henrietta decided to sell their manor house
and farm at Quesnoy for 300 livres. The property was bought by
his brother Joseph and his wife Marie Dufour of Bertaimont, his

brother Antoine and his wife Marie Duchermel of Bertaimont, his
brother Louis Ault and his wife Marguerite Dufour. By July-
August of 1670 all the arrangements had been made to leave Ques-
noy. Jean and Henrietta renounced their Catholic faith, and joined
a party of Huguenots who had gathered at Maubeuge for an exo-
dus to the Netherlands. Jean's younger brother Pierre, age 28,
decided to join the group. They followed the Sambre river valley
to where it became the Meuse at Namur. They continued their
journey northward in the valley of the Meuse, through territory
that became Belgium in 1830, until they reached the town of
Venlo in the eastern Netherlands. It was an incredible journey,
and at Venlo Jean and his family turned eastward and sought
refuge in the border town of Crefeld in the eastern Netherlands.
At Venlo, Pierre left the family group and made his way westward
to the village of Gorkum near Rotterdam. It is worth observing
that this difficult journey of 1670 had, as its counterpart over 100
years later, a similar journey by some Ault descendants who left
the Mohawk valley in the Colony of New York. Their journey was
along the shores of Lake Champlain and down the valley of the
Richelieu river to Montreal. Their reason— persecution of the Loy-
alists during the American Revolution.

Shortly after they arrived in Crefeld, the five Aults who had
become refugee residents of the town were required to declare
their loyalty and swear allegiance to William III of the Netherlands.
They were given Dutch names— Jean became Johannes, Henrietta
remained the same, Henri became Heinrich and Jacques became
Jacobus.

On 8 Nov 1680, the Aults decided to return to their Catholic
faith. They publicly abjured their error in leaving the Church, and
they promised to live and die in the Catholic faith.

By 1691 the Aults indicated that they intended to remain in
Crefeld for the 1691 records of the Burgermeister Johann Bruck-
man, B.L XCL 7 reveal that Johannes Ault bought a house and
land on the Everstrasse for 102 Gulden, plus a yearly payment of
. 2 Gulden, 10 Albus and 6 Heller, from Johann Wilheim, Wilhelm
Von Furth, Johann Wilhelm von Meuthen, and Johannes Krum-
bach.

Johannes Ault became a merchant on the Everstrasse, and the
family had just settled down to a normal family life when Henri-
etta Bouvin died at the age of 47 in 1692.

Johannes Ault and Sophia Adams's marriage on 14 July 1693
was by contract which included the information that Johannes

Ault was of an honorable family. The contract states that he was
to receive 300 Gulden a year after the marriage from his wife's
mother Marie Kleist, the remarried widow of Jacob Backer.

When King William III of the Netherlands died on 19 Mar
1702, the self-proclaimed King Frederick I of Prussia annexed part
of the eastern Netherlands. This included the village of Crefeld,
and the village name was changed to Krefeld. The male inhabit-
ants were required to take an oath of allegiance to their Prussian
ruler, and the former French Aults who had become Dutch citi-
zens now became German citizens.

During this time of turmoil and change, Johannes Ault decided
to send his third child Jacques, now Jacobus, to Amsterdam as an
apprentice to the goldsmith and watchmaker Heinrich Schmelz.
Jacobus was age 11 when the Ault-Schmelz contract was signed on
1 Mar 1681. The contract was found in Urkunden Coll Magny 16:
185 S and it reads as follows: — "I agree to send my son Jacobus
Ault at my own cost from Krefeld to Amsterdam and with God's
help my son shall enter the home and employment of Heinrich
Schmelz to learn the trade and business of watchmaker and gold-
smith and nothing else. Said Heinrich Schmelz has agreed to feed
and cloth my son for 3 years in a way consistent with the position
of such a young man. I, Heinrich Schmelz also agree with the said
Johannes Ault that if his son Jacobus remains with me for 3 years
and acts in an honest manner I will give him a present that will be
most satisfactory to him, I, Heinrich Schmelz have attached my
private seal as well as my merchant seal and have requested Jacob
Isaacs Van Bebber, a merchant of Crefeld, to add his seal in our
presence. I, Johannes Ault have also placed my seal on this con-
tract signed in Crefeld on 1 Mar 1681."

It is of interest to note that Heinrich Schmelz was a well-known
and highly respected watchmaker and goldsmith in Amsterdam
and that his friend Jacob Isaacs Van Bebber was a merchant in
Crefeld. On 11 June 1683, he was one of six Mennonites who re-
ceived 1000 acres of land in Pennsylvania as a grant from William
Penn. As a result of the grant, Van Bebber and five other Mennon-
ites emigrated from Rotterdam to Colonial America on 24 July
1683 and founded the Frankfort Land Co.

After the merchant Johannes Ault died in Krefeld on 7 Aug
1714, his widow Sophia Adams managed the family business with
the aid of the Krefeld merchant Peter Kleist who had been ap-
pointed as guardian of the minor children of the second marriage.
Herman was age 19, Berndt was age 17, and Sophia was age 15.

Peter Kleist was also charged with representing the three children
in the settlement of their father's estate. The widow Sophia Adams
and Peter Kleist were known to the Judge who accepted the estate
as valued at 3600 CI eve Thaler after the payment of all debts. The
details of the will of Johannes Ault were written in Flemish and
the will was recorded on 9 May 1715 in Urkunden, Haldeman 6.
The English translation follows: — "The guardian Peter Kleist
grants the entire real and personal estate of her deceased husband
Johannes Ault, including the land and farm at Krefeld, to the
widow upon payment of the sum of 900 Thaler. She agrees to pay
300 Thaler to each of her stepchildren — Heinrich, Jacobus, Pieter,
Angelica and Margaretha Ault. She also agrees to pay 300 Thaler
to each of her children of her marriage to Johannes Ault — Her-
man, Berndt and Sophia Ault when they come of age. The widow
also agrees to pay all the debts of the estate within 3 months or to
make the children a quit claim thereof and pay all the expenses of
this. Although she is in full possession of the house on the Ever-
strasse and another house opposite the Heil Dionys Church in Kre-
feld the widow agrees to pay the sum of 1800 Thaler in the settle-
ment of this property. Commercial bills and bills receivable are
not to be sold and the business is to be continued under the name
Johannes Ault Successors." A certified copy of the foregoing was
issued to the widow Sophia Adams Ault on 9 May 1715.

Shortly after the estate of Johannes Ault was settled in Kre-
feld on 9 May 1715, Sophia Adams went to Amsterdam to live
with her stepson Jacobus who was now a goldsmith and watch-
maker in Amsterdam. He had married Cora Schmelz, the daughter
of his mentor.

On 18 June 1755 the widow Sophia Adams Ault, living in Am-
sterdam, wrote her will in German. It was recorded in Urkunden,
Samuel Adams, 1755. "In the name of God Amen •—.—.—.— To
my heirs, I appoint my stepson Jacobus Ault, now living in retire-
ment in Zaandam northwest of Amsterdam and his wife Cora
Schmelz —.—.—.— My sons Herman and Berndt living in Geldern
near Krefeld and my stepsons Heinrich, Johannes and Pieter Ault
of Krefeld are so indebted to me that they are not entitled to any-
thing out of my estate as they have exhausted their entire mater-
nal inheritance. Therefore they are excluded from any participa-
tion in my estate.

I appoint my brother Peter Adams of Krefeld to represent any
interest that Heinrich, Johannes, Pieter, Herman and Berndt Ault
may have in my estate.

The inheritance belonging to my grandson Johannes Ault who
emigrated to Colonial America in 1753 with his wife Hannah Ault,
born Henkel, and their children Nicholas, Frederick, Conrad,
Johan and David shall be at their free disposal and shall not be
subject to any supervision by their father Jacobus Ault of Amster-
dam. As their representative I appoint Johannes Henke of Zaan-
dam and if he should fail to act, Nicholas Van Ness of Amsterdam.

My house in Krefeld on the Everstrasse I give and bequeath,
without cost, to my daughter Sophia Hecker, born Ault, who is
the widow of the merchant Heinrich Hecker of Krefeld.

My house in Krefeld opposite the Heil Dionys Church, I give
and bequeath, without costs, to my stepson Heinrich Ault of Kre-
feld and to his wife Margaret Gross and to their children Johannes,
Sophia and Alberta.

I especially give and bequeath to my great grandson Nicholas
Ault of Philadelphia my collection of books and the prayer book
that belonged to his deceased great grandfather Johannes Ault and
the black clock that came from my mother's family — the Backers."

PIERRE AULT ca 1642-1689
ELSJE WARK -ca 1690

(Pierre Ault, Maurice, Pierre, Henri, Francois-Pierre, Jacques, Guil-
laume, Guillaume.)

Pierre Ault, one of 6 children of Maurice Ault and Angelique
Duval, was born ca 1642 in the village of Maubeuge in Picardy. He
was baptised on 9 May 1642. He was the brother of Jean, Joseph,
Angelique, Antoine and Louis Ault. He died, age 47, in 1689 in
Rotterdam and his burial site has not been located.

Pierre Ault and Elsje Wark were married before 1676.

Elsje Wark, the daughter of Jean Wark and Catrijn d*Este, was
born on the Orkney Islands. Her parents moved to the island of
Walcheren in the Netherlands when she was an infant. She died ca
1690, and her burial site has not been located.

Pierre Ault and Elsje Wark had 6 children.

9 G 46 Elsje Ault, b , d

Pierre Ault was age 28 and single when he left France in 1670
and went to Gorkum near Rotterdam. On 6 Oct 1676 he wrote a
letter to his mother Angelique Duval in Quesnoy. After thanking
her for sending him some money, he inquired about her health.
He stated that their son Jan was a sturdy child who enjoyed good
health. One can assume from this letter that their son Jan was
born before 1676, and that the other children were probably born
between 1676 and 1682.

When Pierre's father Maurice made a joint will with his wife
Angelique Duval on 4 June 1658, they left the manor and lands at
Maubeuge to Pierre. When Pierre's mother made her will on 19
June 1682 in Quesnoy, she gave 1 livre each to her son Pierre, to
his wife Elsje and to their son Jan. After his mother died, Pierre
made an effort to claim part of her estate: — "Pierre Ault, son of
Maurice Ault and Angelique Duval, a resident of Rotterdam, Hol-
land, in his own interest and in the interest of his children Jan,
Moris, Peter, Angelica, Elsje and William hereby authorizes
M. Francois Dufermel of Valenciennes to represent me in the
claim upon the estate of my said mother Angelique Duval, de-
ceased, of Quesnoy." Pierre's correspondence was in French, and
the preceding authorization was obtained from Notaire Dufermel,
Act T.V. 1682/4.

It is extremely doubtful that this authorization for a claim
against his mother's estate resulted in any settlement to Pierre. He
did not live in France, he expressed no desire to return, he left
France as a temporary Huguenot, and he had been settled with his
family in Rotterdam for the past 12 years. He was in no position
to have his claim honored, as he had fled the country as a Hugue-
not in 1670.

Pierre died intestate in 1689. His widow Elsje wrote her will
in Flemish on 3 May 1690 in Rotterdam. She left 1/5 part of her
estate to each child — Jan, Moris, Peter, Angelica and Elsje. She
left her prayer book to her brother-in-law Johannes Ault of Cre-
feld. She provided for her youngest child William as follows: —
"As my youngest son William is weak minded and non compos
mente and therefore cannot inherit his share of my estate, my
will and request is that my other children shall care for him and
provide for him as they expect God to care for them and to bury
him and if God in his mercy shall give him his mind again he shall
inherit 1/5 of my estate."

JOSEPH AULT ca 1644-after 1682

MARIE DUFOUR

(Joseph Ault, Maurice, Pierre, Henri, Francois-Pierre, Jacques,
Guillaume, Guillaume.)

Joseph Ault, one of 6 children of Maurice Ault and Angelique
Duval, was born ca 1644 in the village of Maubeuge in Picardy. He
was baptised on 7 Mar 1644. He died after his mother's will was
written in 1682, and his burial site has not been located.

Joseph Ault and Marie Dufour were married on date unknown.

Marie Dufour — no information.

Joseph Ault and Marie Dufour had children.

Joseph was a minor when his father Maurice died in 1659. Ac-
cording to his father's will, Joseph and his brothers Antoine and
Louis were to have the family mansion at Bertaimont. When Jo-
seph's mother Angelique Duval wrote her will on 19 June 1682,
she gave the furniture in the Bertaimont house to Joseph. The
records of La Famille Dufour inform us that Joseph's brother
Louis married Marguerite Dufour, the sister of Marie.

After their parents's death, Joseph joined Angelique, Antoine
and Louis in filing a claim against their parents' estate. The result

Jacobus spent his childhood and began his education in Cre-
feld. When he was 11 years of age he went to Amsterdam where
he became an apprentice to the goldsmith and watchmaker Hein-

rich Schmelz. He remained in Amsterdam until his father Jean
(Johannes) died in Krefeld on 7 Aug 1714. Jacobus was then age
44 and he immediately went to Krefeld to help his stepmother
Sophia Adams manage his father's business and estate. He returned
to Amsterdam in December 1714 to marry Cora Schmelz and they
both returned to Krefeld after the marriage. Their marriage agree-
ment, written in German, was found in Erbachaftssechen, 1716,
S. 87, Samml S. It has been translated as follows: — "We, the
undersigned Jacobus Ault of Krefeld and Cora Ault, born Schmelz,
of Amsterdam have made the following marriage contract: —

I, Jacobus Ault agrees that if my wife should be alive at my
death without any heirs, she shall be my residuary legatee and I,
Cora, the wife of Jacobus Ault agrees that if I should die before
my husband without heirs he shall inherit my property.

The children shall inherit l A of the estate and the survivor the
other half.

The survivor shall not be obliged to make an inventory or to
give an account or to seal the personal property.

We have both attached our seals to this agreement in Krefeld
on 6 Jan 1716."

Jacobus and Cora lived in Krefeld for 13 years (1716-1729)
and during that period their 6 children were born. When the
family returned to Amsterdam in 1729, Jacobus resumed his occu-
pation as a goldsmith and watchmaker. The children resumed their
education in the Amsterdam schools. When Jacobus retired, he
and Cora moved to Zaandam where he died, age 88, on 9 Sept
1758.

On 28 Aug 1758 Jacobus wrote his will and as a preamble to
the will he wrote the following: — "Being of advanced age the
merchant and goldsmith Jacobus, born Jacques, Ault of Amsterdam
desires to arrange his estate while he is still alive in the interests of
his children and heirs whom he identifies as follows: —

1 Johannes Ault, my oldest son who went to America in 1753
with his wife Hannah Henkel and their children Nicholas born 7 Jan
1748, Frederick born 4 Feb 1749, Conrad born 9 May 1750, John
born 11 Apr 1751 and David born 7 Mar 1752. After they arrived
in America Johannes and Hannah had Henri born 11 Oct 1754,
George born 6 July 1755, Michael and his twin sister Sophia Marie
born 16 May 1756.

2 Cora Ault VanNess my daughter, the widow of Van-
Ness and their children Nicholas VanNess born 1 Feb 1743 and
Elsje VanNess born 17 Nov 1745.

3 My sons Heinrich Ault age 40, Nicholas Ault age 38, Fred-
erick Ault age 27 and Conrad Ault age 29.

I request that as many of my children and grandchildren, that
can appear, be present when I make my will. They are all known
to the Judge and I hereby make the following disposition of my
property.

The merchant and goldsmith Jacobus Ault transfers and con-
veys his entire estate, and particularly his house in Amsterdam, to
his son Heinrich Ault who takes full possession of the house. The
furniture, beds, bedding etc. are excluded and Jacobus reserves for
himself, for his lifetime, a room on the floor facing the street.

The sum of 1500 Gulden is to be paid to Heinrich who shall
distribute this amount as follows: 1. Johannes Ault, the oldest
son, shall be given 250 Gulden through my agent Henri Huffman.
2. Each of my children, Nicholas, Frederick, Cora and Conrad
shall be given 250 Gulden. 3. Each of the following shall be given
50 Gulden —Joseph and Francois, the children of Nicholas; Eugene
Louis, the son of Frederick; Marie Hermione, the daughter of Con-
rad Ault and Marie Dudevant. 4. Fifty Gulden shall be set aside
for my burial. 5. My son Heinrich is to be my residuary legatee,
provided he execute these bequests."

A codicil dated 28 Aug 1756 was added to the will. This in-
structed Heinrich, or his representative, to contribute 50 Thaler
to the poor of Krefeld one month after the death of Jacobus. The
money was to be from the estate and not from Heinrich 's personal
inheritance.

On 9 Jan 1760, Heinrich and Conrad Ault appeared before the
Court in their interests and in the interests of Cora VanNess, their
sister. The available records do not reveal the purpose of this ap-
pearance.

Heinrich remained in Amsterdam to settle his father's estate
and to distribute the amounts designated in his father's will. Jaco-
bus's other children remained in Europe except Johannes who
became the Emigrant Ancestor of this line of Aults in North
America.

THE AULT FAMILY IN NORTH AMERICA

The Genealogy of "The Ault Family in North America" begins
with our Emigrant Ancestor Johannes Ault who left Amsterdam in
1753 and emigrated to the Philadelphia area of British Colonial
Pennsylvania. At that time he had a wife and 5 children. Eight
years later, in 1761, Johannes, his wife and 9 children migrated to
the Mohawk valley in Colonial New York and became tenant
farmers of Sir William Johnson. During the American Revolution
some members of the family supported the Loyalist cause and in
1777 three of Johannes' sons — Nicholas, Conrad and John — fled
to Montreal. In 1780 Johannes, his wife Gertrude, his sons Michael
and Everhart and his daughters Sophia Marie and Catharina joined
in the flight of Loyalists from the Mohawk river valley to the Brit-
ish Province of Quebec. In 1784 Johannes and his family began a
new life as pioneer Loyalist settlers in the St. Lawrence river val-
ley, between the present City of Cornwall and the Town of
Iroquois.

Prior to 1784 the history of "The Ault Family in North Amer-
ica" evolves around Johannes (ca 1716-1796) and his family life
and times in the Mohawk valley. When he left there, at the age of
64, he spent his remaining years in Matilda Twp. in Dundas Co.
His son Nicholas (1748-1812) settled in Osnabruck Twp. in Stor-
mont Co. His son Conrad (1750- ) appears to have settled

into anonymity. His son John (1751-1833) settled in Cornwall
Twp. in Stormont Co. His son Michael (1756-1829) settled in
Matilda Twp. in Dundas Co. His daughter Sophia Marie (1756- )
settled in Williamsburg Twp. in Dundas Co. His daughter Catha-
rina (before 1765- ) probably settled in Matilda Twp. His son
Everhart (1765- ) settled in Matilda Twp.

Four separate Ault family lines developed from these pioneer
Loyalist settlers and they will be taken up later in genealogical
sequence.

(Johannes Ault, Jacobus, Jean, Maurice, Pierre, Henri, Francois-
Pierre, Jacques, Guillaume, Guillaume)

Johannes Ault, the Emigrant Ancestor of this line of Aults in
North America, was the first of 6 children of Jacobus Ault and
Cora Schmelz. He was a 10th generation (10 G) Ault in the Euro-
pean line and the 1st generation (1 A) Ault in the North American
line. He was born ca 1716 in the town of Krefeld in Germany
after it had been taken from the Netherlands in 1702 by Frederick

11 of Prussia. He died on 21 Nov 179613 in the pioneer settler's
home of his Loyalist son Michael, whose Crown grant farm was
located on the WV2 of Lot 20 in Concession I in Matilda Twp. in
the St. Lawrence valley. His burial site has not been located, but
he was probably buried in the Old Section of the Iroquois Point
Cemetery in Matilda. No records of burials in this part of the
Cemetery are available. Most of tne gravestones are weathered and
illegible.14

1 Johannes and his first wife Hannah Henkel were married ca
1747 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

Hannah Henkel — no information except to record that she
was a Dutch subject of German descent. She died sometime after
1756, and her burial site has not been located.

Johannes Ault and Hannah Henkel had 9 children. The first 5
were born in Amsterdam and the last 4 were born in Colonial
America.

II Johannes Ault and his second wife Gertrude Rebecca Boug,
were married in Colonial America sometime after 1756, but before
they went to the Mohawk river valley ca 1761.

Gertrude Rebecca Boug was born in 1725. She died, age 78,
on 10 June 1803 in the pioneer settler's home of her Loyalist son
Everhart Ault, whose Crown grant farm was located on the WA of
Lot 19 in Concession I in Matilda. She was probably buried be-
side her husband. The Register of Matilda, Williamsburg and Osna-
bruck, Liber A on Burials, listed Gertraud Alt as the relict of Nico-
los Alt of Matilda, born 1725, died 10 June 1803 and buried 12
June 1803. This entry should read that Gertraud was the relict of
Johannes Ault for Nicolos was her stepson.

Johannes Ault and Gertrude Rebecca Boug had 2 children.

2 CA 11 Catharina Ault, b before 1765, d

2 E 12 Johannes Eberhardus Ault, b 20 July 1765, d

Johannes and his brothers and sisters were born in the German
border town of Krefeld because their parents Jacobus and Cora
lived there for 13 years (1716-1729) while they were settling the
estate and business interests of Jacobus' father. However, Jacobus
and Cora were anxious to return to Amsterdam and when they
were able to do so, in 1729, the children began their formal educa-
tion in the Amsterdam schools. Johannes was age 11 at that time,
and when he completed that part of his education he entered the
apprentice system to become a goldsmith, watchmaker and jeweler.
He was 31 years of age ca 1747 when he married Hannah Henkel
in Amsterdam.

No information could be located indicating the reasons why
Johannes and Hannah emigrated to British Colonial America in
1753. One would expect that Johannes' skilled profession would
have assured him of a secure future in Amsterdam. Although
numerous Henkels were settling in the Colony of Pennsylvania
during this era, no evidence has been found indicating that a
Henkel relative urged them to come to that colony. However
great crowds of western Europeans were passing through the Ports
of Amsterdam and Rotterdam on their way to America, where
land was available for settlement and religious freedom was as-
sured. The Colony of Pennsylvania became the promised land,
and people were making great sacrifices to go to America. German
and Dutch immigrants were disembarking almost daily at the Port
of Philadelphia. In 1753 Johannes decided to relinquish his inher-
itance to his brother Heinrich and the family left for America.15

According to the 28 Aug 1758 will of Jacobus Ault of Amster-

;

dam, who was then 80 years of age, his son Johannes left Amster-
dam in 1753 with his wife Hannah Henkel and their 5 children —
Nicholas, Frederick, Conrad, John and David. The will stated that
they lived in the Philadelphia area and one would assume that they
disembarked at the Port of Philadelphia and took the Oath of Alle-
giance to George II of Britain. However all passenger lists studied
to date by this compiler have failed to list a Johannes Ault, or Ait,
and family as disembarking immigrants at the Port of Philadelphia
during the years 1752, 1753 and 1754. Several passenger lists
have been found that contained the names of Alts, from the Ger-
man Palatine, who entered America by the Port of Philadelphia.16
To date, the Port of Entry for this Ault family has not been
located.

The writer has not been able to determine where the Aults
lived or who they might have stayed with in the Philadelphia area.
At that time, the Crefeld section of the Germ an town Township in
the County of Philadelphia was inhabited by a number of Dutch-
German immigrants who had come from the Crefeld-Krefeld area
of western Europe. One might surmise that the Aults might take
refuge in this area. However a survey of 5 Vol. of Germantown
history, the Indices of 2 Vol. of Genealogical items from early
Germantown and Philadelphia newspapers, and the Indices of Wills
to 1825 failed to reveal any information on the Aults.l?

No evidence has been located that the Aults lived in the Lan-
caster-York-Hanover areas of Pennsylvania. The records of the
Historical Society of York County reveals that no connection could
be found between the Alts of that area and the Aults of New York
State. 18 Many of the Alts who settled in the "Pennsylvania Dutch
Country" were Mennonites who came from the Palatine region of
Germany. One of these Alt families has been traced through 8 gen-
erations by Reeser.19 A few German Alts, in the Hanover area,
who were not related to the Valentin Alt line, changed their sur-
name from Alt to Ault. Several years ago both surnames could be
found on some of the family gravestones in the old Churchyard
Cemeteries in this region.20

At one time some of the Aults who lived in Ottawa felt that
our antecedents came from the Schoharie valley in the New York
Colony. Efforts to confirm this have been unproductive. It is
known that a number of indentured Germans from the Palatinate
were settled on the Hudson river valley property of the Livingston
family in 1710. In order to pay for their passage to British Colon-
ial America, they were to work in the Pine Barrens to provide tar

and spars for Queen Anne's Navy — for she had sponsored the en-
deavor. The project was a failure and in 1712 the Germans aban-
doned the area. They were destitute. Some of them managed to
migrate to Pennsylvania and others settled in the Schoharie valley
where they soon encountered great difficulty in establishing prop-
erty rights and ownership. A few of this group moved northward
into the Mohawk river valley. It is significant to observe that there
were no Aults, or Alts, listed among the German immigrants who
worked on the Livingston property.21,22,23 Further investiga-
tion reveals that no Aults, or Alts, lived in the Schoharie valley for
none could be found in the existing Church records owned by the
Schoharie County Historical Society, or in the Indices of Scho-
harie County .24

In an effort to determine if the Aults came from this region,
the next avenue of investigation was to make a thorough study of
the extensive records of the Churches that had been located in this
part of the New York Colony. These records had been compiled
in 1916-1918 for the New York Genealogical and Biographical So-
ciety. Royden Woodward Vosburg was the Editor and for the
sake of brevity they will be referred to as the Vosburg records.25

No information was found in the Vosburg records regarding
the marriage of Johannes Ault and Gertrude Rebecca Boug. One
may assume that they were married before they came to the Mo-
hawk valley ca 1761.

No Aults, or Alts, could be found in the 3 Vol. of records of
St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Schoharie in Schoharie.
However an entry made on page 54 in Vol. 1 states that Michael
Merkele the older, Johannes Frantz, the son of Sebastian Frantz
and Catharina Merkele, the daughter of Frederick Merkele, were
killed by Indians at New Dorlach on 19 Oct 1780.26 This infor-
mation has served as the authentic background for the Christianna
Merkle story that has been told by many writers from the St. Law-
rence valley including Croil27 and Harkness.28

The records of the Dutch Reformed Church of Stone Arabia in
the Town of Palatine revealed, on page 58, that Johannes Eberhar-
dus Ault was born on 20 July 1765 and baptised on 13 Sept 1765.
His parents were listed as Johannes Alt and Gertraudt. His married
sponsors were Johann Eberhard Cochnat and wife Barbara.

The records of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of
Caughnawaga, now Fonda, demonstrate that the Aults lived in or
near Fonda during 1776-1780. In Vol. 1 page 50, Nicholas Alt
and Caty Link were listed as the sponsors for the baptism on 20

Dec 1778 of Caty Snyder, the daughter of Abraham Snyder and
Marie Link. Page 51 in Vol. 1 reveals that Johannes Alt and Ger-
truy were the sponsors for the baptism on 28 Dec 1778 of Johan-
nis Nicholai, who was born on 30 Nov 1778 to Marie Backer and
Michael Nicholai. Page 57 in Vol. 1 lists Gerhard Alt and Geertruy
Shaver as the sponsors for the baptism on 16 Nov 1780 of Geer-
truy Welke, age 7 weeks, the daughter of Christian Welke and Mar-
gariet Lotteridge.

The foregoing information is significant for it indicates that
the Aults lived within a reasonable distance of the town of Palatine
in 1765 where Eberhardus was baptised at the age of 2 months.
They may have been members of the congregation of the Reformed
Protestant Dutch Church at Fonda from 1776 to 1780 when they
sponsored the Snyder, Nicholai and Welke Baptisms. It is of spe-
cial interest to note that Nicholas Ault, a declared Loyalist in
1777, was not apprehended or taken into custody by the Ameri-
can Patriots when he appeared in Fonda on 20 Dec 1778.

Although the preceding information indicates that the Aults
lived in the Mohawk valley, no family papers or records have been
found that would indicate exactly where they lived. There was no
official registration of births and deaths in the New York Colony
prior to 1780, and when the first United States Census was taken
in 1790 the Aults no longer lived in the Mohawk valley.

While researching in the Library of Congress in 1974, the
writer had the good fortune to discover an important document-
ary essay in Ontario History. This was written by a retired Episco-
pal clergyman, the Reverend Duncan Fraser, of Johnstown, N.Y.
The essay "Sir John Johnson's Rent Roll of the Kingsborough
Patent "29 is a most vital contribution to the genealogy of the first
wave of Loyalists who settled along the north shore of the St.Law-
rence river in the United Counties. 30 Many of the names that ap-
pear on this Rent Roll also appear on the Mustering-Out Roll of
the 1st Battalion of the Kings Royal Regiment of New York, and
the Royal Highland Emigrants when they were disbanded in Mon-
treal on 24 Dec 1783.31 Many of these names also appear on
McNiff's map of 1786.32 a closer study of the Rent Roll, the
Mustering-Out Roll, and McNiff's map will confirm the opinion of
those who contend that many of the first Loyalist settlers in the
United Counties were the tenant farmers from Johnson's Kings-
borough Patent, and from other farms in the Mohawk valley.

The Johnson's Kingsborough Patent, to be described later, was
located north of the Mohawk river in what is now Montgomery

Co. Some of the Patent was laid out in 100 acre tenant farm
Lots.33 Johannes Alt occupied Lot 42 W which was located in
the southwestern part of the Patent. It was about 3 miles south-
west of Johnstown, in the area between the Mohawk river and the
main road to the west.34 Some of Johannes' neighbors were
Johannes Hartle who farmed Lot 43 W on the north, Peter Boyce
who farmed Lot 71 W on the east, and William Lotteridge who
farmed Lot 15 W on the south.33 Johannes* annual tenant rent
was £ 6/3 and his date of occupancy was listed on Sir John John-
son's books as 25 March 1769. However, the Reverend Duncan
Fraser states that Johannes was probably a tenant of Sir William
Johnson in 1761, or earlier. 34 Sir William kept rather incomplete
records and the date of occupancy recorded by Sir John is prob-
ably incorrect.

While attempting to determine the duration of Johannes' ten-
ancy on this farm, I had the privilege of corresponding with the
Reverend Fraser and with Wanda Burch who is in charge of the
Johnson Papers35 a t Johnson Hall in Johnstown, N.Y. The
"Papers" revealed that Johanis Alt petitioned to become a British
subject in 1761. This indicates that he was living in the Mohawk
valley in 1761 but the year he arrived is not recorded. The ab-
stracted material received from Wanda Burch reads as follows: —

"Vol. 3:357 — Act of Naturalization petitioned for John Ault
and others by Peter Servis to the Assembly on March 10, 1761.

Vol. 3:634 — Letter to Goldsbrow Banyar from Fort Johnson,
dated Feb 14, 1762 stating that Johanis Alt is #35 on the list of
names for the Patent.

Vol. 5:27 ~ Jan 31, 1776 from Johannes Alt at Albany City
Hall, promising to discharge his indebtedness to Johnson and other
creditors and begging release from prison.

Vol. 5:35 - Feb 21, 1776 Letter to Mrs. Gertrude Schuyler,
offering a plea for Johannis Alter, imprisoned on a mortgage held
by Mrs. Schuyler and asking acceptance of the mortgaged property
for the debt.

Vol. 5:175 — Same plea for John Spangenburg April 16, 1776.

Vol. 5:196 -May 2, 1776 Letter from Abraham Yates regard-
ing the above debts having been discharged.

Vol. 6: 771 — Patent Rolls under grant of George III June 8,
1769 lists Johannis Alt on Johnson Roll for grant Petition.

Vol. 7:352 — Jan 27, 1770 Naturalization Act passed and lists
Hannis Alt.

Vol. 10:248 — Petition to the Council for a land grant from

William Johnson and associates, Mar 27, 1761 N.Y. lists Johannis
Alt.

Vol. 12:819 — April 27, 1770 Lists of those names to be in
the Patent for the Northern tract of 80,000 acres in the rear of
Kingsborough, alias Stuart's Purchase, included Johanis Alt (#54).

Vol. 13:554 — March 5, 1770 Johnson sold 2 gallons Rum to
HanisAltfor£/8."

After Johannes* release from the Albany jail in May 1776, it
seems likely that the Ault family sought employment and shelter
in or near Fonda.36 No evidence has been found that any of the
Aults went to Montreal with Sir John Johnson in June 1776. Dur-
ing this unsettled period the Committee of Safety of Try on
County37 investigated the Ault family, for it was their duty to
determine who were Patriots, Tories or Loyalists. The judgment
they seemed to have made was to declare that Johannes Alt, age
60, was "Military Exempt" from service in the Tryon Militia.22

In 1779 Johannes' sons, Nicholas age 29, Conrad age 27 and
John age 20, declared themselves to be Loyalists by going to Mon-
treal and joining Sir John Johnson's Kings Royal Regiment of New
York t sometimes known as Johnson's Royal Greens or the Royal
Yorkers. 38 The rest of the Ault family remained in Fonda, and
for almost a year Johannes fitted out "Scouts" for their services to
the British cause. During this period Johannes' loyalty to the
Crown remained undetected. In mid 1780, Johannes decided that
it was time to leave the Mohawk valley and the family separated.
Frederick age 31, David age 28, Henri age 26 and George age 25,
decided to remain in America. These four brothers did not stay
in the valley for their names did not appear on the first U.S. Census
that was taken in 1790.

When the Ault family left Fonda for the Province of Quebec,
their journey of approximately 250 miles to the refugee camps
around and in Sorel39 was long and arduous. They probably went
by foot along one of the Lake Champlain routes that will be de-
scribed later. Johannes was age 64, Gertrude was age 55, the twins
Michael and Sophia Maria were age 24, Everhart (Eberhardus) was
age 16, and his sister Catharina was older. Shortly after they ar-
rived in Sorel, Johannes, Michael and Everhart went to Montreal
and joined the 1st Battalion of the K.R.R.N.Y and served in this
unit until the war ended in 1783.

One cannot refrain from pausing here to note that Johannes'

grandfather, Jean Ault and his family, made a similar journey on

| foot in 1670 when they decided to flee from the Huguenot perse-

cutions in France. The Jean Ault family left Maubeuge in France
and followed the Meuse river valley to Venlo and Crefeld in the
eastern Netherlands.

At this point it would also seem desirable to pause and briefly
look at some of the circumstances and events that influenced the
lives of those who lived in the Mohawk valley and chose to leave
during and after the American Revolution.

Pound, in his book on Sir William Johnson (1715-1774) makes
it abundantly clear that the Mohawk valley was Johnson terri-
tory .40 The Johnson's Kingsborough Patent, exceeding 50,000
acres, stretched along the north shore of the Mohawk river. It was
strategically located. Sir William had been settling immigrants on
this land for several years, for he planned to develop it into a pros-
perous farming and trading area. He founded and built Johnstown
that was officially named and recognized in 1770. He built the
first school in the settlement, and he built the Episcopal Church
that was destroyed by fire in 1836. He also built his baronial man-
sion, Johnson Hall, at Johnstown. This was located about 4 miles
back of the river where it had a commanding presence over the
trade and commerce that went upstream or downstream. Johnson
Hall is now a New York State Historical Landmark.

The settlement of the Kingsborough Patent is of interest, for if
one drew a north south line between the Mohawk river and Johns-
town it would divide the Patent into an eastern and western por-
tion. The eastern part of the Patent was being settled by Highland
Scottish Catholics whose customs and Gaelic tongue were foreign
to everyone except themselves. The western part of the Patent
was being settled by immigrants whose surnames indicated that
they were of German, Dutch, English, and Ulster Irish ancestry.
They were nearly all Protestants, who were learning the English
language. They had almost no contact with their Scottish neigh-
bors.

When Sir William Johnson died at Johnson Hall in 1774, most
of his property was inherited by his ,son Sir John Johnson who
moved to Johnson Hall and took charge of the Johnson interests.
He was an avowed Loyalist and a staunch supporter of George III
of Britain. Although he lacked the gregarious nature of his father,
most of the tenant farmers remained as his tenants, and remained
loyal to him. When the unrest over British colonial rule spread to
the Mohawk valley, Sir John began accumulating arms and ammu-
nition. He then began distributing both to his personal militia and
to his Indian friends of Loyalist persuasion. His supporters began
drilling and holding military exercises on his property. This was
intolerable to the Committee of Safety of Tryon County and they
notified the Patriot authorities in Albany. In January 1776 Gen-
eral Schuyler was sent from Albany to interview Sir John, and it is
alleged that Sir John agreed to cease all military activity on his
property. In June 1776 General Schuyler dispatched a Colonel
Drayton to Johnson Hall with orders to arrest Sir John for violat-

ing the agreement. When Sir John was informed, in advance, of
this turn of events, he hurriedly buried most of his papers and
family silver on the grounds of Johnson Hail, lie then made a 9-
mile journey to Fort Johnson where his supporters had gathered,
and they all left for Montreal.

There was no easy way to reach Montreal from Fort Johnson.
Sir John Johnson's trail, as illustrated in Johnson of the Mohawks,
would enable refugees to continue their travel from Crown Point
through the heavily wooded mountainous hills that characterized
the western shore of Lake Champlain. This route would lead them
to the Richelieu river and the safety of Isle aux Noix41 and other
British outposts along the river. They could travel by bateaux
from Crown Point to the Richelieu, if Lake Champlain was calm
and suitable for navigation. The route along the eastern shore of
Lake Champlain was through relatively flat country. Those who
chose to take this route on foot, by horseback, or by oxcart,
would encounter numerous marshes, bogs, swamps, creeks and
rivers before they reached the north end of the lake. If the weather
was favorable, the trip could be made by bateaux from South Bay
to the Richelieu. Regardless of the route that was chosen, it was
about 60 miles from Fort Johnson to Crown Point or South Bay.
Lake Champlain was about 125 miles long, and the trip down the
Richelieu to Sorel added another 75 mEes to the journey.

I have not been able to determine which route was followed in
1776 by Sir John Johnson and the estimated 130 Highlanders and
the 120 farmers and supporters. About 400 refugees joined the
flight and after 19-21 days of difficult and exhausting travel, they
began arriving in Montreal or in the refugee camps and temporary
barracks around Chambly, Sorel, Machiche or Three Rivers. They
received food, clothing and shelter at these sites until the summer
of 1784.42

In June 1776 Sir John received his Commission as a Lieuten-
ant Colonel in the Home Forces, and shortly thereafter he was
authorized to organize the 1st Battalion of the K.R.R.N.Y, This
Battalion became a very effective home defense unit whose activi-
ties extended along the border between Montreal and Niagara. On
13 July 1780 Sir John was authorized to organize the 2nd Battal-
ion of the K.R.R.N.Y. and on 2 Oct 1782, in recognition of his
services to the Crown, he was advanced to the rank of Brigadier
General. In May 1780 Sir John was the leader of a very unofficial
action when he and a party of "Indians" made a foray on Johnson
Hall. He recovered his papers and family silver that he had buried
in June 1776.

During the period between 1780 and early 1784 the Aults,
who were not serving in Sir John Johnson's Home Forces, were
kept busy in the refugee camps by improving the quarters and
building bateaux- On 24 Dec 1783 both Battalions of the K.R.R.
N.Y. and the Royal Highland Emigrants were disbanded in Mon-
treal. The Mustering-Out Roll of the 1st Battalion listed the fol-
lowing Aults in Sir John Johnson's Company: — John Alt, soldier,
age 52 and Conradt Ait, soldier, age 16. Captain John McDonelPs
Company of Grenadiers listed Michael Alt, soldier, age 23 and
Nicholas Alt, soldier, age 20. John Ault and his half brother Ever-
hart were not listed in this Muster Roll. They may have been dis-
charged earlier due to illness or injury. Their names were restored
to a list of those who served in the K.R.R.N.Y. when the amended
Loyalist list was published in 1885.43

When the St. Lawrence river became navigable in the spring of
1784 the Aults, and others, were ready to travel, by bateau or ba-
teaux, upriver to Montreal where they would receive supplies and
provisions. Their next stop would be at the settlement of New
Johnstown (Cornwall) that was located on the north shore of the
St. Lawrence river at the foot of the Long Sault Rapids. After a
brief stop at Montreal and a portage around the Lachine rapids,
the journey to New Johnstown was a tedious exercise in paddling,
rowing, poling and sailing their heavily laden bateaux through the
Lake St. Francis section of the St. Lawrence river. The short stop
at New Johnstown enabled them to obtain a few supplies and
some information. They drew lots here for a grant of Crown land.
The Aults, and others, whose grants were in the western part of
Twp. No. 3 (Osnabruck), in Twp. No. 4 (Williamsburg) or in Twp.
No. 5 (Matilda) now faced the most formidable part of their jour-
ney when they left New Johnstown. The Long Sault rapids
dropped 30 feet in VA miles, and the flow of water was heavy,
strong and treacherous. The rapids were relatively shallow along
the south shore where the St. Regis Indians were encamped. Along
the north shore the rapids were stronger, and one encountered
more dangerous pools and deceptive eddies. The trip upstream
along either shore was a life-threatening task for the bateaux had
to be pulled, pushed, poled and even carried in some places. It
seems likely that the bateaux were unloaded and the contents car-
ried by hand to a safe place above the head of the rapids. There
were no roads along either shore to help one travel by foot, horse
or oxcart. It was an exhausting experience before the Aults and
their colleagues reached their destination in Twp. No. 5. They

stopped on the north shore of a quiet bay that faced the south.
They were about 105 miles upstream from Montreal. This settle-
ment became Iroquois.

According to Pringle44 a n estimated 1,462 Loyalists from the
K.R.R.N.Y. and the Royal Highland Emigrants were the first set-
tlers in the Counties.30 They were considered privileged grantees
and they were directed to their grants of Crown land by the sur-
veyors, or their deputies. When they occupied their farm Lot,
their name was written on the Lot on the surveyors map. They
were thus acknowledged as the lawful occupant of their Crown
grant for a period of 12 months. The grantee was required to im-
prove his land during this first year. It was also necessary for his
farm to pass the inspection of a Loyalist Commission who would
then declare the owner as eligible to apply for a Deed or Patent.
All of this did not proceed as smoothly as planned for the number
of early settlers was greater than the authorities at New Johns-
town could handle. As a result, some of the settlers occupied their
farm Lots before they received their "Tickets of Location" — which
were issued later.

In an effort to improve the land granting process, Land Boards
were established. These functioned from 1789 to 1794. From
1794 to midsummer 1796, the local magistrates were given the
task. By 1796 it appears that most of the Loyalists, who were
eligible to receive land via a "Ticket of Location," had been settled
in the Counties. However, there were still some Loyalists who had
not yet received their land via a "Ticket of Location" and some of
the Loyalists* sons and daughters were now eligible for grants of
Crown land. A more central control of the land granting process
seemed desirable, and in mid 1796 land granting became a func-
tion of the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, in Council. Hence-
forth, anyone who considered themselves eligible for a grant of
Crown land, was required to submit proof that he was an E.L.
(Empire Loyalist) or the child of an E.L. His Petition and affidav-
its were then submitted to the Office of the Lieutenant Governor,
in Council and if a grant was approved, an O.C. (Order in Council)
was issued to the Petitioner. Genealogists and Historians are in-
debted to William D. Reid who spent most of his life collecting
and compiling a list of the sons and daughters of the Ontario Loy-
alists who received their grants of Crown land via "Petition. "45

Differences of opinion and interpretation as to who was eligi-
ble to receive how much land existed from the beginning of set-
tlement. The rules seemed to change when Britain wanted to

speed up, or slow down, the rate of settlement. The amount of
land that the first Loyalist settlers received as their initial allot-
ment has recently been explained by Mezaks.46 "The acquisition
of land, however, was not merely a matter of individual preference
and action. Settlement was regulated by a series of executive and
administrative decisions. To start with, there was a class of privi-
leged grantees such as Loyalists, Military Claimants and Govern-
ment Officials who received their land by statutory right. In 1783
Governor Haldiman set up a scale of grants for the Loyalists and
discharged soldiers. Every head of a family was allowed 100 acres,
plus an additional 50 acres for every member of his family. Men
who had served under arms were to receive grants from 50 to 1000
acres depending upon rank. Soon the grants were increased. All
heads of families who had already improved their lands were
granted an additional 200 acres. The allotment to private soldiers
was increased to 300 acres with senior officers getting up to 5000
acres. These grants were free of fees. The privileged grantees also
claimed exemption from settlement duties."

The Aults and other Loyalists who received their land via a
"Ticket of Location" or via a "Petition" and went on to Patent
their land, received a parchment Deed embossed with the Seal of
George III. No Deeds issued to an Ault have been located by this
compiler. The last known Ault owner of parchment Deeds was
John Livingston Ault and the fate of these Deeds is not known at
this time.

Before we return to the life of Johannes Ault, it seems desira-
ble that some time should be devoted to a number of political,
administrative and geographical decisions that were made by the
British government. These affected the lives of all who lived in the
St. Lawrence valley.

After New France became the British Colony of Quebec in
1763, the lands west of the present Ontario-Quebec became
known as Western Quebec. From 1784 to 1791 the Loyalists who
settled in Western Quebec lived under the prevailing French laws
and administrative customs. This was unacceptable to the new-
comers, and they Petitioned the Governor General for a change
to British laws and administration. As a result, the Constitutional
Act of 1791 was enacted. Quebec East became the Province of
Lower Canada, and Quebec West became the Province of Upper
Canada. Each had their own laws, administration, and customs.
From 1842 to 1867, the Province of Upper Canada became known
as Canada West. At the time of Confederation in 1867, Canada
West became the Province of Ontario.

■ :

A most important geographical decision was made in 1781
when the Township, a 9 x 12 mile section of land, was established
as the territorial unit for surveying and settlement purposes. If
one traveled from east to west, starting at the present Ontario-
Quebec border, one would pass through the following "Front"
Townships — Lake (became Lancaster), Twp. No. 1 (became Char-
lottenburg), No. 2 (became Cornwall), No. 3 (became Osnabruck),
No. 4 (became Williamsburg), No. 5 (became Matilda). These
Townships fronted on the St. Lawrence river and their correspond-
ing "Back" Twps. were Lochiel, Kenyon, Roxborough, Finch,
Winchester and Mountain. Each of these Twps. contained rows of
200 acre farm Lots, numbered in an east to west fashion, with 37
farm Lots in each row. The first row of farm Lots fronting on the
St. Lawrence was known as Concession I. This was followed by
Concession II, III, IV etc. until one reached the northern bound-
ary of the Twp. Most of the farm Lots in the first three Conces-
sions were taken up by the Loyalists who received their land via a
Ticket of Location. Their sons and daughters who claimed their
land via a Petition received their land in the Back Townships.

As the St. Lawrence valley became more settled, the fine hand
and planning of Sir John Johnson became more evident for the
territory east of New Johnstown became the home land of the
Royal Highland Emigrants whose dialect and customs were totally
incomprehensible to the K.R.R.N.Y. Protestants who lived in the
territory west of New Johnstown (see diagram page 61).

Another event of significance to the Aults and others was the
1789 proclamation of Lord Dorchester, the Governor. He decreed
that special recognition should be accorded to those British sub-
jects — who had lived in British Colonial America before the Revo-
lution; who had been loyal to the Crown; who had migrated to
British North America (Canada) during and after the American
Revolution, and especially to those who had served the Crown as
soldiers and officers. The Proclamation stated that henceforth
those individuals in the foregoing categories, and their descendants,
would be privileged to add E.L. (Empire Loyalist) to their names.
This was to be considered an hereditary Badge of Honor. In 1914
the United Empire Loyalists' Association was founded to unite the
descendants of these Loyalists.47

During the early years of settlement the Aults, and their con-
temporaries, were so busy wresting a living from the land that
keeping any kind of a family record was a difficult task. Notes,
that were often incomplete, were sometimes made in the family

Bible. No Census was taken until 1851 and no Vital Statistics
were kept in Ontario prior to 1869.48 Fortunately the records of
some of the first Churches that were built in the "Front" Twps.
survived the ravages of time, fire and flood. I am indebted to
Mrs. L. Merkley of Mesa, Arizona for information on Ault Births,
Marriages and Deaths that she abstracted from the Church and
other records.49

During my childhood in Ottawa, I remember that Aunt Mary's
Bible was known as the main source of information on the family
Births, Marriages and Deaths. I last saw this large Bible in 1934
when Aunt Mary and Aunt Ada, who were my grandfather's sis-
ters, were living in Morrisburg. The Bible was at least 12x8x5
inches in size and the last few pages were printed with decorative
borders and some of the pages were labeled Births, Baptisms, Wed-
dings and Deaths. Announcements, Obituaries and news items
were pasted on some of the pages and different persons' handwrit-
ing clearly indicated that more than one individual kept these rec-
ords. Some of the information prior to 1854 was undoubtedly
transferred to this Bible from earlier Ault records. This Bible was
"The Cottage Bible and Family Expositor containing the Old and
New Testament to which has been added the Reference and Marg-
inal Readings of the Polyglot Bible as edited by the Reverend Wil-
liam Patton." This Bible was published in 2 Vol. in 1854 in Hart-
ford, Conn. Vol. 1 is missing and Vol. 2 initially owned by Nicho-
las N. Ault (1795-1871) was inherited by Aunt Mary Louisa Ault
who, before she died, wrote that it was to be entrusted to the care
of Percy Edwin Ault and in turn to his son Edwin F. Ault Esq. of
Weston, Ont.

Another Ault Bible that contained vital information was "The
Illustrated Polyglot Bible containing the Old and New Testament"
that was published in 1869 by J.W. Goodspeed & Co. of 37 Park
Row in N.Y. and entered by William Flint under an Act of Con-
gress. This Bible was owned by Simeon Ault (1824-1905) and
records were kept in it by Mrs. Charles Sidney Ault. It is now
under the care of Edwin F. Ault.

Genealogical material from both of these Bibles was copied by
Helene Bromwell Ault in 1946 and it was used in her Typescript
"The Aults in Ontario." In 1976 Edwin F. Ault kindly sent
photocopies of the genealogical material in both Bibles to me. 50

In addition to being eligible for grants of Crown land, Johan-
nes, and many of his neighbors from the Mohawk valley, who had
lost land and property due to the Revolutionary War, were eligible
to file a Claim for Compensation for their losses. Britain estab-

lished a Commission for this purpose and directed them "To In-
quire into the Circumstances and former Fortunes of such Persons
as are reduced to Distress over the unhappy Dissensions in Amer-
ica. "51 The task of the Commission seemed endless, for it required
more than 10 years to complete the work they began in 1784.
They did indeed "Inquire" with such ponderous "vigor" that it is
a wonder they ever completed their work. Brown52 and countless
others who have written extensively on the Loyalists, point out
that many Loyalists did not bother to file Claims. Others died be-
fore their Claims were heard or settled. The small Claim filed by
Johannes illustrates the frustrating minutiae that the Claimants
and the Commission had to face. On 16 Feb 1788 Johannes sub-
mitted his Claim to the Loyalist Commission in Montreal. He
identified himself as follows: —

—That he was Johannes Ault, late of Try on Co. in the Colony
of New York.

—That he was born in Germany and came to America 35 years
ago.

—That he lived near Johnstown when the Revolution began.

—That he lost 2 horses, 3 hogs, 7 sheep, furniture, cloathing
and provisions to the rebels and to the Indians.

—That he had sent 3 sons to the British Army in 1777.

—That he had joined Sir John Johnson's 1st Battalion of the
K.R.R.N.Y. and had served until the end of the war.

—That he had lands but sold them.

—That he now lived in the 5th Township. 53

In addition to the foregoing, Johannes supplied the Commis-
sion with a copy of the List of Losses that he had previously given
to a Captain Burns.

"Estimate of the real and personal estate of John Ault of the
County of Tryon in the Province of New York, according to
the value thereof mTQSil 1785

I have not been able to determine when, how, or if, this Claim
for Compensation was settled. The Archives of Ontario do not
have any information on the Claim. 54

Johannes had better luck in Cornwall in 1784, for he was on
the list of privileged Loyalist grantees who drew lots for a grant of
Crown land. He drew the E l A of Lot 19 in Concession I in Matil-
da, and with the assistance of the Surveyors staff, he occupied his
grant almost immediately. His handwritten "Ticket of Location"
was not issued until 20 June 1786.55 The front side read as fol-
lows: —

Johnstown the 20th June 1786

Township No. 5

East half of Lot 19 in front

John Ault

The handwritten reverse side reads as follows: —

Mr. McNiff and that

District

No. 5.

Johannes', now John, name appears on this Lot on McNiff 's
map of 1 Nov 1786 and his farm of 142 acres was next to that of
his son Everhart, who occupied 137 acres of the W 1 ^ of Lot 19 in
Concession I in Matilda.

By 1787 Johannes had cleared and improved enough of his
land to pass the Inspection of the Loyalist Commission. On 5 May

■tjli

1787 the Commission reported that John Ault and Everhart Ault
had cleared and planted 9 acres of Lot 19, that they owned a horse
and that Lot 19 was occupied by 2 men and 1 woman. 56 The
Commission also declared that Johannes was eligible to Patent his
land. Before Johannes died, he apparently arranged to have his
son Michael inherit the EV 2 of Lot 19. On 9 July 1796 Michael
Ault, as the eldest son and heir at Law of the late John Ault, re-
ceived a grant of the W/2 of Lot 19 in Concession I in Matilda
from John Ault^S ( se e Michael Ault). Michael patented this land
on 23 Mar 1807, and sold the entire 142 acres of this farm to Wil-
liam Stamford on 7 Jan 1808.57

On 9 Nov 1787, Johannes received an additional grant of the
N.E.V^ of Lot 18 in Concession VI in Matilda. The N.E.U of this
Lot was patented by a John Ault in 1836.

One cannot separate Johannes Ault and his family from the
events and circumstances of their time in North America. It is evi-
dent that they were strong healthy individuals. They survived an
Atlantic crossing of 6 to 8 weeks. Their 27 years (1753-1780) in
Colonial Pennsylvania and New York did not dampen their zest
for living. They survived a family separation in 1777-1780 when
Frederick, David, Henri and George decided to remain in America
while the rest of the family chose to be Loyalists and fled to
Quebec.

Some of the Aults and their children who settled in the St.
Lawrence valley and devoted their time, talents and hard work to
farming and business enterprises, became reasonably successful
and secure in their communities. In the last quarter of the 19th
century good land became scarce and some of the more venture-
some Aults decided to seek their fortunes elsewhere. A few suc-
ceeded in becoming anonymous, and a few became founders of
their line of Aults in a new area. A small part of their life and
times will be related in the nine generations of Aults that follow in
genealogical sequence.

NICHOLAS AULT AND HIS DESCENDANTS

2 N 2

NICHOLAS AULT 1748-1812

CATHARINE LOUCKS -after 1812

(Nicholas Ault, Johannes)

Nicholas Ault, the Loyalist soldier of Osnabruck Twp. was the
first of 9 children of Johannes Ault and his first wife Hannah Hen-
kel. He was born on 7 Jan 1748 in Amsterdam in the Netherlands,
and his parents brought him to British Colonial America in 1753
when he was age 5. He died, age 64, on his Crown grant farm on
the WV2 of Lot 34 in Concession I in Osnabruck Twp. in Stormont
Co. He was probably buried in the old Trinity United Church
Cemetery in the settlement that became Aultsville. This Cemetery
was located on Lot 34 northwest of the junction of Dundas and
Palace Streets as illustrated in Beldens 1879 map of Aultsville.58

Nicholas Ault and Catharine Loucks were married ca 1784 in
Williamsburg Twp. according to a notation made in a family Bible
by his son Nicholas N. Ault. Catharine Loucks was the daughter
of the Loyalist Richard Loucks Jr. and Dorothy Fox (Foucks).
The Loucks lived in Williamsburg Twp. until ca 1788-1789 when
they moved to Osnabruck Twp. and began farming 100 acres of
the WV2 of Lot 31 in Concession III. Catharine died sometime
after 1812 on the Nicholas Ault farm, and she was probably bur-
ied beside her husband.

Nicholas Ault and Catharine Loucks had 6 children. The first

2 children were born in Williamsburg Twp. and the next 4 children
were born in Osnabruck Twp.

Nicholas Ault was age 5 when his parents brought him to Brit-
ish Colonial America in 1753. This was confirmed by the 28 Aug
1753 will of his grandfather Jacobus, who was living in retirement
in the Netherlands. In her will of 18 June ±755 Nicholas' great
grandmother, Sophia Adams Ault, also confirmed that the Johan-
nes Ault family went to the Philadelphia area of British Colonial

America in 1753. Sophia left her collection of books, and the
Prayer Book that belonged to Nicholas* great grandfather, Johan-
nes Ault, to Nicholas. Sophia also left the black clock that came
from her mother's family, the Backers, to Nicholas. No further
information regarding this inheritance has been found.

After the Johannes Ault family moved to the Mohawk river
valley ca 1761, Nicholas spent his formative years on the family
tenant farm in the Kingsborough Patent of Sir William Johnson.
Many of these farmers and their sons became members of John-
son's personal militia, although they avoided using that name.
When the Johnson properties were seized in 1776, the Ault family
left their tenant farm and moved to the Caughnawaga, now Fonda,
area, where Nicholas lived until 1777.

The records of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of
Fonda lists Nicholas Alt and Cathy Link as sponsors of the bap-
tism on 20 Dec 1778, of Caty Snyder, the daughter of Adam Sny-
der and Marie Link. 59

In 1777 Nicholas Ault and his brothers Conrad and John de-
cided to declare their support of the Loyalist cause. They went to
Montreal, where they joined Lt. Col. Sir John Johnson's 1st Bat-
talion of the K.R.R.N.Y. Nicholas served in this Battalion until
the end of the war. When the Battalion was disbanded on 24 Dec
1783, Nicholas was listed on the Mustering Out Roll as Nicholas
Alt, age 20, a soldier in Capt. John McDoneU's Company of Grena-
diers.^

After the K.R.R.N.Y. disbanded, Nicholas joined his family in
one of the refugee camps, and when they made their journey up
the St. Lawrence river in the early summer of 1784, Nicholas was
with them. When the Aults stopped at New Johnstown, Nicholas
drew lots for a grant of Crown land. His Ticket of Location is
only partially legible due to ink smearing and fading^l

On 24 Nov 1785, a printed Ticket of Location in the following
form was issued to Nicholas Ault. It was signed by Henry Hamil-
ton for the Lieutenant Governor, and issued by the District Sur-
veyor General, John Collins. The large letters represent the print-
ing and the small letters represent handwriting. It read as follows:

Henry Hamilton
John Collins, D.S.G.

Nicholas Ault appears to have occupied the WA of Lot 34 in
Concession I in Osnabruck Twp. in 1785, or possibly 1784, and
this would indicate that there may have been an error in writing
Michael Ault's name on this Lot on McNiffs map of 1786.

The WA of Lot 34 became the Crown grant home farm of
Nicholas Ault. He built his pioneer settler's log cabin home near
the St. Lawrence river on this 100 acre farm, and he raised his
family here. According to Patent Book C Folio 193 Nicholas Pat-
ented this property on 12 Mar 1797.62 At a later date, Nicholas
obtained the EV& of Lot 34 in Concession I from Alex Rose.

In addition to the 100 acres of Crown land that Nicholas re-
ceived for his services to the Crown as a soldier in the K.R.R.N.Y.,
he was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land,
because he was the son of the Loyalist soldier Johannes Ault. On
13 Nov 1787, Nicholas received a grant of 200 acres of Crown land
in Concession VIII in Osnabruck via the following instrument:— 63

John Collins D.S.G.
Exc W.C.

On 12 Mar 1797, Nicholas Ault patented 193 acres of Lot 18
in Concession VIII in Osnabruck Twp. according to an entry made
in Patent Book C Folio 193.64

Nicholas Ault was also granted 100 acres of Crown land in the
WA of Lot 19 in Concession VII in Osnabruck Twp., and David
Jacocks was granted the EV6 of this Lot. On 1 Mar 1797, Ault and
Jacocks patented all 200 acres of Lot 19 as recorded in Patent
Book C Folio 289.65

In making a judgment from the available records, it seems that
Nicholas and Catharine Ault's daughter Catherine and their son
John Nicholas were born while they were living in Williamsburg
Twp., and the Aults did not move to Osnabruck Twp. until late
1788 or early 1789. Catharine Loucks* father, Richard Loucks
Jr., farmed the W 1 ^ of Lot 31 in Concession II in Osnabruck Twp.,
and her relatives, Joseph and Peter, farmed Lot 33 in Concession I
in Osnabruck Twp. These farms were all adjacent to one another.
The Aults and the Loucks had served together in Capt. John
McDonelPs Company of Grenadiers, and it was undoubtedly advan-
tageous for these families to settle and farm together, and to join
together in building and harvesting "Bees."

Within a few years the Aults outgrew the pioneer settler's log
cabin, and a new home was built on the same Lot 34, closer to the
road that ran through the settlement — the future King's Highway
or York St. I understand, but have no proof, that this house and

the Nicholas Ault Bible and records were destroyed by fire. Short-
ly thereafter, Nicholas and his son Nicholas N. built the first part
of the red brick house that was located nearby on Lot 4 (on Aults-
ville map). This house faced the King's Highway and it was the
only remaining Ault-owned and Ault-occupied house left in Aults-
ville when it was demolished by Ontario Hydro in 1957.

During the early years of settlement it was necessary for each
resident to take an active part in local affairs. Nicholas Ault served
as a member of the Jury on several occasions between 1789-1792
when the Court of General Quarter Sessions of the Peace for the
District of Lunenburg met in Osnabruck.66

Catharine Loucks, as the daughter of the Loyalist soldier Rich-
ard Loucks Jr., was eligible to Petition for a grant of Crown land
when she married or became 21 years of age. The Upper Canada
Land Petitions, 1804-1806, reveal that Catharine Loucks Peti-
tioned for a grant of Crown land on 22 Dec 1805.

"To the Governor, Lt. Governor or Persons Administring the
Government of the Province of Upper Canada, in Council:

Those who Petitioned for a grant of Crown land were required
to prove their identity by enclosing the following type of informa-
tion with their Petition.

"Catharine Ault maketh Oath and seth that she is the person
she describes herself to be in the within Petition and that she

The handwritten notes on Catharine Ault's Petition read as fol-
lows: — "Endorsed. The Petition of Catharine Ault, received 15

In 1806, Catharine Ault patented all 200 acres of Lot 6 in
Concession XII in Mountain Twp.,69 an d on 19 Oct 1811, her
husband Nicholas willed the WV2 of Lot 6 in Concession XII to
their daughter Catharine Ault.

The first Ault will probated in Canada was written by Nicholas
Ault, and it is representative of the wills written at that time.
Nicholas wrote his will on 19 Oct 1811. It was witnessed by John
Tuttle, Richard Loucks and Adam Empy. It was probated on 24
Mar 1812 before Judge Anderson in the Surrogate Court of the
Eastern District of Upper Canada at Cornwall — Reg. B., Folio 75-
80.70

In the years alloted to him as a Loyalist resident of Upper Can-
ada, Nicholas Ault appears to have provided his family with an
ample inheritance of farmland. It should be noted that his will
specified that the youngest children, Richard and Dorothy, should
be given a good and common education in the English tongue.
This is significant and important, tfor the Loyalist settlers in Stor-
mont and Dundas were largely of German and Dutch origin. The
older people had lived near one another in the Mohawk valley,
they had served together in Johnson's regiment and now, towards
the conclusion of their final migration, they had settled on their
own land. They had worked, socialized and worshipped together.
Their religious affiliations that had been Lutheran and Dutch Re-
formed in the Mohawk valley were now Lutheran. Their clergy-
men preached in German although the conversations among the
community elders was a mixture of German and Flemish. Many
of these German-Dutch settlers recognized that Upper Canada was
destined to become English-speaking Canada. Nicholas Ault's chil-
dren would be ready for this change.

As the son of Micholas Ault the Loyalist soldier, John Nicho-

became age 21. His Petition and Affidavits obtained from the
Upper Canada Land Petitions, A bundle, 9, 1802-1811, R.G.I.,
L 3, Vol. 5, Microfilm C 1610 reads as follows: -

"Sworn before me at Cornwall in the Eastern District of the
Province of Upper Canada on the 23rd of January 1810.

U.E. Loyalist. Approved I. Baby, Presid. Comm. Warrant is-
sued 7 May 1810 by Wm. Imoyle."

The preceding O.C. issued to John Nicholas Ault was for 200
acres of Lot 23 Concession VI Rideau Front, Nepean Twp.

When John Nicholas Ault's father died in 1812, his will read
as follows: — "I give and bequeath unto my beloved son John
Ault my now dwelling or home farm being the west half of Lot
34 above described, in fee simple after the decease of my widow
Catharine or her marriage; also I give and bequeath unto my son
John Lot 32 in the Third Concession in the Township of Osna-
bruck of 200 acres — in fee simple — as well as household furni-
ture and farming utensils that my widow may die possessed of."

When John Nicholas Ault's mother, Catharine Loucks, died
sometime after 1812, John Nicholas inherited the WA of Lot 34 in
Concession I in Osnabruck. Thjs was the Crown grant farm that
his father received via his Ticket of Location on 24 Nov 1785.

In 1822, John Nicholas received the Deed, witnessed by Rich-
ard Ault for 100 acres of the E 1 ^ of Lot 31 in Concession I in
Osnabruck from his brother Nicholas N. Ault and his wife Mar-
garet Ross. The last Ault owner of this property was Wellington
Ault in 1879.

On 3 Mar 1842, John Nicholas Ault gave the Deed to 100
acres of land to his son James Richard Ault, and on 9 Nov 1852 he
gave the Deed to 100 acres of land to his son William Robert Ault.
This 200 acres may have been Lot 33 Concession VI Rideau Front,
Nepean Twp. that John Nicholas received via Petition and his O.C.
of 7 May 1810.

John Nicholas Ault was a farmer and local business man who
spent his lifetime on his farm in Osnabruck Twp. He was active in
the local political, social, and business affairs that fostered the
growth of Charlesville/Aultsville. In 1858 he served as an Elder in
the old St. Matthews Church in Osnabruck.

Peter N. Ault of Osnabruck, one of 6 children of the Loyalist
soldier Nicholas Ault and Catharine Loucks was born on 1 Apr
1791 on the Nicholas Ault pioneer Crown grant farm located on
the WA of Lot 34 in Concession I in Osnabruck Twp. According
to the Williamsburg Parish Register of Baptisms 1790-1805, he was
baptised Petrus N. Ault on 17 Apr 1791 with Dietrich Lauk and
his wife Dorothea acting as sponsors. Bible records reveal that he
died, age 89, on 24 Dec 1879 in East Rushford in Allegheny Coun-
ty, N.Y. His burial site has not been located.

The family Bible records on this family are quite illegible.

Peter was age 20 when his father wrote his will on 19 Oct
1811. "Item: I give and bequeath to my beloved son Peter Ault
the east half of Lot 34 with house, barns, outhouses, he to pay the
Executors £7/10/ per annum for 4 years after April 1st last passed.
Also the west V6 of Lot 19 in the 7th Concession."

No information has been located that would indicate how long
Peter and Rosa lived on the Lot 34 property. His wife Rosa may
have died when Sophia was born in 1811. In 1812 Peter, age 21,
joined a unit of the Dundas Militia and served in the War of 1812
until the war ended in 1814. After the war Peter and Althea
Moseley were married and they lived on the EV6 of Lot 34 until
they moved to East Rushford, in New York State, sometime be-
tween 1816 and 1823. Peter's brother John Nicholas Ault sold

the EV6 of Lot 34 in Concession 1 to Thomas Simon Clark in
1823.

As the son of Nicholas Ault the Loyalist soldier, Peter N. Ault
was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land
when he reached the age of 21. A search of the Upper Canada
Land Petitions on Microfilm C 1610 reveals that on 12 Jan 1815
Peter N. Ault filed the usual Petition for a grant of 200 acres of
Crown land via John Crysler Esq. His Petition was sworn to by S.
Anderson of Cornwall on 12 Jan 1815. His O.C. was issued on
19 Apr 1816 and he received Lot 22 in Concession I in Cartwright
Twp.

NICHOLAS N. AULT 1793-1871

MARGARET ROSS 1797-1869

(Nicholas N. Ault, Nicholas, Johannes)

Nicholas N. Ault of Osnabruck, one of 6 children of the Loyal-
ist soldier Nicholas Ault and Catharine Loucks was born on 10 Sept
1793 in the pioneer settlers log cabin that his father had built on
the WA of Lot 34 in Concession I in Osnabruck Twp. He died,
age 78, on 6 Feb 1871 in the house he had built on Lot 4 in Aults-
ville. He was buried in Woodlands East Presbyterian and Anglican
Cemetery in Woodlands in Osnaburck Twp. His gravestone was re-
moved from the Woodlands Cemetery in 1958 before it was cov-
ered by the developing Lake St. Lawrence. It was inscribed — "N.N.
Ault, died Feb 6 1871, age 77 years, 4 months and 26 days" and it
has been placed in the north wall of the Pioneer Memorial that was
built by the St. Lawrence Parks Commission in the Crysler Farm
Battlefield Park in Dundas County, Ontario. The Memorial is lo-
cated near the entrance to Upper Canada Village.

Nicholas N. Ault and Margaret Ross were married on 5 Dec
1813 in Osnabruck Twp. according to the Williamsburg Parish
Register, Liber B on Marriages.

Margaret Ross of Osnabruck, the daughter of Jacob Ross and
the legendary Christianne Merkley was born on 22 June 1797 in
Osnabruck Twp. She died, age 72, after 10 years of a lingering ill-
ness, on 19 Feb 1869 in the Nicholas N. Ault home in Aultsville.
She was buried in Woodlands East Presbyterian and Anglican
Cemetery. Her gravestone was also removed from the Woodlands
Cemetery before 1958 and it was placed next to her husband's in
the Pioneer Memorial. It was inscribed — "Margaret, wife of Nich-

olas N. Ault, died Feb 19 1869, age 71 years, 7 months, 28 days."
It is one of four Ault gravestones in the Pioneer Memorial.

Nicholas N. Ault and Margaret Ross had 9 children, all of
whom were born in the Nicholas N. Ault home in Charlesville/
Aultsville.

Nicholas N. Ault was age 19 when his father died in 1812 and
the item in the will of 19 Oct 1811 referring to Nicholas read as
follows: — "To my beloved son, Nicholas Ault, at the time of his
coming and being of age 21 — a pair of horses, a sleigh and har-
ness, one plough, one harrow with iron teeth — to be given to him
by my son John and also ordering my son John to cause to be
bought a good and convenient farm of 100 acres or more, ordering
him my son Nicholas to do and perform service and labor on and
with my son John until he shall lawfully become of age 21 years.
Also to my son Nicholas the West l A of Lot 18 in the 8th Conces-
sion in Osnabruck as well as 1 cow and 2 sheep in fee simple." The
foregoing clearly indicates that Nicholas N., age 19, was left in the
custody of his older brother John Nicholas who was then age 30.
When Nicholas N. became age 21, John Nicholas purchased 100
acres of the E V2 of Lot 31 in Concession I in Osnabruck for Nich-
olas N. For some unrecorded reason Nicholas N. and his wife Mar-
garet Ross conveyed this farm to John Nicholas Ault in 1822. The
papers were witnessed by Richard Ault.

When Nicholas N. Ault became age 21 he inherited, from his
father, the WA of Lot 18 in Concession VII in Osnabruck Twp.

As the son of Nicholas Ault the Loyalist soldier, Nicholas N.
Ault was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown
land. His Petition and Affidavits, obtained from the Upper Can-
ada Land Petitions, A Bundle, 10, R.G.I., L 3 Vol. 5, 1811-1816,
Microfilm C 1610, reads as follows: —

list — Nicholas Alt of Osnabruck. In Council 19 Apr 1816
granted 200 acres. Warrent #131 issued 23 April 1816. En-
tered in Land Book 1 page 336"

The preceding O.C. issued to Nicholas Ault was for 200 acres
of Crown land in Lot 1 in Concession II in Cartwright Twp.

Although Nicholas N. Ault was a farmer and local merchant he
served, as others did, in the Milita. He was a private in the Second
Regiment of the Dundas Militia which was under the command of
Capt George Merkley. During the War of 1812-1814 he served as
a private from 2 July 1812 to 24 Dec 1812 in Capt William Mor-
gan's Flank Company of the First Regiment of the Stormont Mi-
litia. During the Rebellion of 1837-1838 Nicholas was a Capt in
charge of a Company of Stormont Militia during the 3-day Battle
of the Windmill at Prescott.

Sometime after the War of 1812 Nicholas N. Ault received
100 acres of Crown land in the WV6 of Lot 4 in Concession V in
the Twp. of Madoc — for his services in the War of 1812.

As the daughter of Jacob Ross the Loyalist soldier, Margaret
Ross was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown
land when she became age 21 or married. Her Petition of 19 Jan
1816 was received by the Council in York on 8 Mar 1816. The
Petition received favorable action and her O.C. was issued on 19
Apr 1816. She received 200 acres of Lot 2 in Concession II in
Cartwright Twp.

In addition to his interest in farming, Nicholas was active in
the business and political life of the developing area. He devoted

r :'.

considerable time and effort in developing the Ault General Store
and to the family dealings in lumber, coal, potash, flour, grain and
feeds and general supplies suitable for a ready market in the farm-
land of Osnabruck Twp. He bought, sold and traded land. He en-
larged the red brick house that he and his father had built on
Lot 4 facing the main road through the village. This house served
as an Inn at one time when it became a place where one could stop
and rest or change horses or carriages during a journey along the
Kings Highway. By the time this house, last lived in by Mrs. Charles
Sidney Ault, was demolished in 1956-1957 when the St. Lawrence
Power Dam and Seaway was built at Cornwall, it was about 156
years old and at least 5 generations of Aults had been born and
raised in it.

When the 1851 census was taken in Stormont County the
occupants of the Nicholas N. Ault household were listed as Nicho-
las N. Ault, age 58, a farmer and his wife Margaret, age 54; their
son Samuel a merchant and his wife Catharine; their son Isaiah
Richard a merchant ; their son Jacob Sidney a blacksmith and their
son Simeon Nicholas a laborer. James Ira and George Edgar were
minors age 18 and 11. Listed as living in the same household were
Edwin age 4, Ada age 3 and Alice a newborn who were the chil-
dren, of Samuel Ault and Catherine Valentin Loucks.

When Nicholas N. Ault died in 1871 in Aultsville, his descend-
ants were well established in many business enterprises.

RICHARD AULT 1803-
ELIZABETH LOUCKS

(Richard Ault, Nicholas, Johannes)

Richard Ault of Osnabruck, 1 of 6 children of the Loyalist
soldier Nicholas Ault and Catharine Loucks (Nicolaus and Cata-
rina) was born ca 1803 on the Nicholas Ault farm located on the
WA of Lot 34 in Concession I in Osnabruck Twp. His death date
and burial site have not been located. Richard Ault and Elizabeth
Loucks were married on 25 May 1825 in Cornwall.

Elizabeth Loucks — no information except to note that she
was undoubtedly of U.E.L. stock.

Richard Ault and Elizabeth Loucks had 1 child.

4 N 28 Jacob Ault, b 17 Oct 1826, d

Richard was about 8 years of age when his father wrote his
will on 19 Oct 1811. Item: — "To my beloved son Richard Ault,

: .

!;.

the east half of Lot 18 in Concession VIII in Osnabruck Twp. My
son John to pruchase a good and convenient farm of 100 acres or
more, at his, the said Richard becoming of the age 21; also a pair
o£ horses, sleigh and harness, one cow and 2 sheep, one plough and
one harrow with iron teeth. Ordering my son John to cause to be
given unto him, my son Richard, a good decent and common edu-
cation in the English tongue; and also ordering and requiring my
son Richard to do and behave himself as becometh and do such
labor for my son John as he may reasonably require until he shall
become of the age of 21 years and to be furnished by my son John
decent wearing apparel and diet in sickness and in health until the
said Richard so become of the age of 21 years."

It is of interest to note that the will specified that Richard was
to have an education in the English language — and that his sister
Dorothy was to have the same type of education.

Richard Auit, as the son of the Loyalist soldier Nicholas Ault
was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land
when he became 21 years of age. He submitted the usual Petition
and his O.C. was issued on 17 Feb 1825 granting him Lot 11 in
Concession V north of Egremont Road in Warwick Twp. accord-
ing to the Land Records in the Arch, of Ontario.

According to the Williamsburg Parish Register, Liber B. Rich-
ard Ault and Margaret Eamand, both of Osnabruck, were married
on 28 Aug 1827. Question ? ~ Did Richard Ault's wife Elizabeth
Loucks die at or following childbirth in 1826. Is Margaret Eamand
his second wife? Information is lacking.

Crown grant farm located on the WA of Lot 34 in Concession I in
Osnabruck Twp. Her death date and burial site have not been lo-
cated. This information may have been recorded in the Family
Bible that was lost when a fire destroyed the family home.

Dorothy Auit was less than 18 years of age when her father
wrote his will on 19 Oct 1811. He provided for her as follows: ~
"To my beloved daughter Dorothy, the east half of Lot 6 in the
12th Concession of the Twp of Mountain, and furniture as of her
sister, together with wearing apparel and a decent wholesome diet

and a common English Education. Ordering her to labor reason-
ably as she may be required until she becomes the age of 18 years."
No evidence has been located indicating that she married or
that she applied for or received a grant of Crown land as the
daughter of an E.L. She may have died before she reached the
age of 21. In the Land Records of Upper Canada her name is not
included among the members of Nicholas Ault family who received
grants of Crown land.

SAMUEL AULT 1814-1895

Samuel Ault, the first of 9 children of Nicholas N. Ault and
Margaret Ross (Nicolos and Margreth) was born on 11 Dec 1814 in
the Nicholas N. Ault home located on Lot 4 on the southwest cor-
ner of York and Nelson Streets in the settlement that became
Aultsville. According to the Williamsburg Parish Register, Liber A
on Baptisms 1805-1821, he was baptised on 18 Dec 1814. His
sponsors were Jacob Ross and wife and Henry Merkle. He died,
age 81, on 28 Aug 1895 in his home, Acacia Hall, which was lo-
cated on Lot 39 in Aultsville on the west side of Nelson St. south
of the small country lane that was supposed to become Mill Road.
His funeral services were conducted by the Reverend N.A. McLeod
of St. Matthews Church in Woodlands where Samuel had been
an Elder for many years. He was buried in Woodlands West Pres-
byterian Cemetery in Woodlands in Stormont Co. Before this
Cemetery was covered in 1958 by the developing Lake St. Law-
rence, his gravestone was moved to the St. Lawrence Valley
Union Cemetery which is located on Lots 6 and 7 in Concession I
in Osnabruck Twp. near the village of Long Sault. The gravestone
also contains the names of Ada, George and Frederick Herbert
Ault.

According to the Williamsburg Parish Register, Liber E., Sam-
uel Ault age 31 of Osnabruck and Catherine Valentin Loucks age

21 of Williamsburg were married by License, on 19 Feb 1846 in
the old Trinity Anglican Church in the Township of Williamsburg
in Dundas Co. The service was conducted by the Reverend Ed-
ward Boswell. This Church had been erected in 1789 by the Lu-
theran Congregation that had been organized by the Reverend
Samuel Schwerdfeger. The Church had been dedicated as the
Salem Evangelical Lutheran Church and it was the first Protestant
Church erected in Ontario. In 1811 it came under the control of
the Anglican Church. It was rebuilt in 1836 and it was replaced
by a new Church in 1902-1903.

Catherine Valentin Loucks was the 3rd child of John William
Loucks and Alta Moseley. Both parents were of Loyalist stock.
Catherine was born in 1824 in Williamsburg. She was the sister of
Mary Ann Loucks who married Samuel's younger brother Isaiah
Richard Ault. She died, age 90, on 8 Oct 1914 in Williamsburg
Twp. and she was buried beside her husband in Woodlands West
Presbyterian Cemetery.

Samuel Ault was educated in the local schools in Aultsville and
he had a very useful and liberal business education while working
in the family store. He was a very active vigorous individual with
a commanding physical appearance. He was age 24 in 1838 when
he became a Lieutenant in the Second Dundas Regiment of Mili-
tia under the command of Col. G. Markley. For a time he became
an active participant in managing and developing the Ault business
interests that had been started by his father Nicholas N. Ault.
Samuel and his brothers Isaiah Richard and Simeon dealt in Lum-
ber, Potash, Coal, Grain, Feed and General Merchandise. Samuel
soon became involved in the affairs of Osnabruck Twp. and Stor-
mont Co. and his younger brother Isaiah Richard assumed more
control of the store and the Ault family business interests. One of
Samuel's projects was the improvement and development of the
road system for Stormont Co. He spent considerable time and

effort in planning the construction of new roads and the improve-
ment of the existing roads. This involved him in Political affairs
and he represented Stormont Co. on the Counties Council of the
United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry for a period
of 14 years. When the Counties Council met in Jan 1852 they
elected Samuel as the Warden for the 3 Counties for the year 1852.
He also served as a Justice of the Peace (J.P.) for almost 40 years.
He was a school Trustee and Chairman of the Board of Education
for 40 years. He was a Deputy Reeve of the Twp. of Osnabruck
for several years and in 1851 he served as Reeve of the Twp. As
his interest and experience in politics grew and expanded he be-
came a skilled debater and a formidable opponent in the political
arena. He chose to represent the Reform Party in the Stormont
Co. elections of 1861. His opponent was the Hon. John Sandfield
MacDonald whose distinguished career in politics dated back to
the 1840's and who became Premier of what is now Ontario in
1862-1864. Samuel Ault won this 1861 election and he became
the representative of Stormont Co. to the Legislative Assembly of
Canada West for a 3 year term 1861-1864.

Samuel Ault ran for a second 3 year term in 1864 and at that
time he supported the policies of his former opponent John Sand-
field MacDonald. He was elected to the last Legislative Assembly
of 1864-1867 of Canada West before Confederation became effec-
tive in 1867.

When the British North American Act became operative on 1
July 1867, henceforth known as Dominion Day, it marked the be-
ginning of a Canadian Union — a Confederation — and the people
of Stormont Co. elected Samuel Ault as their representative to the
first Dominion Parliament. He became the Honorable Samuel
Ault M.P. of Stormont Co. whose term of office was from 1867 to
1872. Members of this first term of Parliament for the Dominion
of Canada were presented with a Confederation Medal bearing a
bas relief of Queen Victoria on the obverse side and the following
inscription on the reverse side: "Juventas Et Patrius Vogor Canada
Instaurata 1867." This surrounds a sitting figure of Brittania with
a Lion's head on her knee and before her are four maidens repre-
senting each of the Confederating Provinces of Ontario, Quebec,
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The Medal was cast in Bronze
3 inches in diameter and l A inch thick. It is presently held in safe-
keeping by Edwin F. Ault Esq. of Weston, Ont. who kindly pro-
vided the writer with the foregoing description of the Medal.

Reproductions of the Confederation Medal have been made

available by the London, England firm of John Pinches who, in
1967, transferred the original dies to Canada in time for the 1967
Centennial. The dies are now held by the Royal Canadian Mint
in Ottawa.

In 1872 the Hon. Samuel Ault was the candidate of the Con-
servative Party to represent Stormont Co. for a second five-year
term for the Dominion Parliament that met in Ottawa. He was
defeated by Mr. Cyril Archibald, a Liberal who served from 1872
to 1877.

Samuel Ault retired from politics and returned to Acacia Hall
to manage his farm. His farm, which extended northwards along
the west side of Nelson Street almost to the railroad tracks, needed
his care and attention as did his Shingle Mill located by the Upper
Mill pond. The Lower Mill pond, which had been created closer to
the St. Lawrence river, was used for floating and sorting logs that
could be cut into larger sizes of lumber. This was where the lum-
ber was made into rafts that could be floated down the St. Law-
rence to Montreal. During his childhood my father skated and
played hockey on these ponds.

The Samuel Ault farm was a productive working farm where
grain was ground in their own grist mill. A large orchard produced
apples and other fruits for the family and the Ault General Store.
A large Berry field and family garden was located close to the
house. A granite Potash structure was also located on the prop-
erty.

When the 1871 census was taken in Osnabruck Twp., the Hon.
Samuel Ault was listed as a merchant and trader and an M.P.
(Member of Parliament). His 8 children were all living at home in
the village of Aultsville.

After Samuel Ault died in 1895, Acacia Hall was sold to the
Lane Family in 1896. His widow Catherine Valentin Loucks and
their daughters Ada and Mary moved to the village of Morrisburg
which was located on the north shore of the St. Lawrence river in
Williamsburg Twp. Catherine Valentin Loucks lived the last 18
years of her life in Morrisburg under the care of her daughters.

CHRISTIANNE MARGARET AULT 1817-1825

(Christianne Margaret Ault, Nicholas N., Nicholas, Johannes)

Christianne Margaret Ault, the second of 9 children of Nicho-
las N. Ault and Margaret Ross was born on 11 Mar 1817 in the

Nicholas N. Ault home in the settlement that became Aultsvilie.
She died on 28 Jan 1825 in her parents' home and she was buried
in Woodlands East Presbyterian and Anglican Cemetery in Wood-
lands in Osnabruck Twp. The Williamsburg Parish Register, Liber
A on Baptisms for 1805-1821, lists her parents as Nicolos Ault and
Margreth. She was listed as Christianne Margaret, baptised 23 Mar
1817 and her sponsors were John Ault and wife and Elizabeth
Ross.

The Register of Matilda, Williamsburg and Osnabruck, Liber B
on Burials, records the following: "1825 Jan 30, Christina, daugh-
ter to Nicolos Ault and Margreth Ross, his wife, both of Osna-
bruck, died Jan 28 1825 about age 14."

When Lake St. Lawrence was created in 1958 it covered East
Woodlands Cemetery but before this happened selected gravestones
from Woodlands and other Cemeteries were moved to the Crysler
Farm Battlefield Park in Williamsburg Twp. About 300 grave-
stones were moved and imbedded in the walls of the Pioneer Mem-
orial that was located near the entrance to Upper Canada Village.
Four Ault gravestones have been implanted in the north wall of
the Memorial, and Christianne Margaret Ault's is inscribed: —
"Christian M. Ault, age 7 years, 10 months, 17 days." There is
no date on this gravestone but the carver's name, W. Bell, and C.W.
are carved on the base of the gravestone. This indicates that it was
inscribed between 1841-1867 when Upper Canada was known as
Canada West.

ISAIAH RICHARD AULT 1824-1889

MARY ANN LOUCKS 1837-1915

(Isaiah Richard Ault, Nicholas N., Nicholas, Johannes)

Isaiah Richard Ault, the fourth of 9 children of Nicholas N.
Ault and (Margreth) Margaret Ross, was born on 4 Apr 1824 in
the Nicholas N. Ault home in Charlesville. He was baptised on
2 May 1824 and his sponsors were Richard Louks and his wife
and Richard Ault. He died, age 65, on 5 Jan 1889 at his home
that was located on the N.E. corner of Mill and York Streets in
Aultsville. He was buried in Woodlands West Presbyterian Ceme-
tery and before this Cemetery was covered in 1958 by the Devel-
oping Lake St. Lawrence his gravestone was moved to the St. Law-
rence Valley Union Cemetery located on Lots 6 and 7 in Conces-
sion 1 in Osnabruck Twp. near the village of Long Sault.

Isaiah Richard Ault and Mary Ann Loucks were married, by
license, in Williamsburg on 23 June 1857.

Mary Ann Loucks of Williamsburg, the 6th child of John Wil-
liam Loucks and Alta Mosely was born in 1837 in Williamsburg.
She was the sister of Catherine Valentine Loucks who married
Isaiah's older brother Samuel. She died, age 79, on 26 Feb 1915
in the home of her daughter Ida Mary Ault who lived in Toronto.
She was buried beside her husband in Woodlands West Presbyter-
ian Cemetery.

Isaiah Richard Ault was educated in the local schools and at
the age of 17 he went to Cornwall to learn the mercantile trade
in the store of William Mattice. A few years later he returned to
Charlesville and joined his brothers Samuel and Simeon in operat-
ing a general store and in developing other business enterprises
that had been started by their father Nicholas N. Ault. Isaiah ap-
peared to be the most progressive and enterprising member of the
Ault family for he soon assumed full control of the business ven-
tures including the I.R. Ault & Sons General Store in Charlesville
and in Lunenburg. The Aults bought and sold land, they dealt in
Lumber, Potash, Coal, Grain, Feeds, Groceries and other general

merchandise. They owned two sawmills and floated numerous
rafts of lumber down the St. Lawrence river to Montreal. At one
time their volume of trade with Montreal merchants made it neces-
sary for Simeon Ault to spend considerable time in Montreal on
behalf of the Ault business interests. They undoubtedly dispensed
political, economic and social information when, on 4 Jan 1854,
the Post Office was located in their General Store situated on Lot
9 on the northwest corner of York and Nelson Streets. On 4 Jan
1855 Isaiah Richard Ault was appointed Postmaster and he held
that office until 12 Apr 1888.

Isaiah Richard Ault was very active in local community affairs
and he was allegedly responsible for uniting and controlling the
strong conservative families in the area. He was elected Deputy
Reeve for Osnabruck Twp. in 1877 and in 1878. In 1879 he was
elected Reeve of Osnabruck Twp. He was a member of the Coun-
ties Council of Glengarry, Stormont and Dundas for 15 years and
at one time he was Chairman of their Finance Committee. He was
a Justice of the Peace and in 1881 the County Council elected him
a Warden. A more extensive and descriptive biographical note and
photograph of Isaiah Richard Ault may be found in Belden and in
Harkness.

Isaiah Richard Ault's will was drawn and witnessed by Austin
Fetterly and Edwin D. Ault on 24 Dec 1888. In 1889 it was pre-
sented for probate in Her Majesty's Surrogate Court for the United
Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. Isaiah named his
wife Mary Ann Loucks and his sons Arthur William and Charles
Sidney as the executors and administrators of his estate. His insur-
ance was left to provide for his wife and children and, after pay-
ment of his debts, the residue of the estate was left to his sons Ar-

Delilah Catharine Ault of Osnabruck, the fifth of 9 children of
Nicholas N. Ault and Margaret Ross was born on 28 Jan 1826 in
the Nicholas N. Ault home in Charlesville. According to the Wil-
liamsburg Parish Register, Liber C 1822-1832, she was baptised on
19 Feb 1826 and her sponsors were John Weart and his wife Sally
Hickey. She died on 19 Aug 1872 and her burial site has not been
located.

According to the Williamsburg Parish Register, Liber E on Mar-
riages, George N. Archibald of Osnabruck and Delilah C. Ault of
the same place were married, after banns, on 2 Nov 1848 in Aults-
ville.

George Newell Archibald of Osnabruck, the son of Thane
Archibald, was born in Stormont County. He died in May -June
1906 and his burial site has not been located.

Delilah Catharine Ault and George Newell Archibald had 4
children.

In 1856 Matthew, Sidney and Edward Archibald of Stormont
County went to a small settlement in Rice County, Minnesota.
They started a small flour milling business in the settlement and in
June 1857 George Newell Archibald, his wife Delilah and his bro-
ther J.S. Archibald went to Minn, to join in the family enterprise.
A few years earlier, a Mr. Matteson had laid out plans for a town
to be developed along the banks of the Canon river. The Archi-
balds bought the plans. They dammed the river and erected grist
mills and lumber mills and sawmills. They named the settlement
Dundas and they became the developers and owners of the Dundas
Flour Milling Co. They also became substantial benefactors of the
community.

George Newell Archibald belonged to All Saints Episcopal
Church in Nearby Northfield and he served on its first vestry in
1858.

After Delilah Catharine Ault died, age 46, in 1872, George
and the family moved, possibly to Illinois, and they have been lost

tlement, in 1977. They reported the following: — 'The Holy
Cross Episcopal Church Memorial Cemetery in Dundas contains a
tall Monument to the Archibald family. The eroded inscriptions
were — Wm. M. Archibald died 1/10/1874 age 24 years. J.S. Arch-
ibald Nov 26 1875 ? C.S. or G.S. Archibald died July 29,

SIMEON NICHOLAS AULT 1828-1905
MARY AGNES BAKER 1840-1895

(Simeon Nicholas Ault, Nicholas N., Nicholas, Johannes)

Simeon Nicholas Ault, the sixth of 9 children of Nicholas N.
Ault and Margaret Ross, was born on 24 July 1828 in the Nicholas
N. Ault home in Charlesville. He died, age 77, on 19 May 1905 in
Acton, Ont. and he was buried in Woodlands West Presbyterian
Cemetery. His gravestone was removed to the St. Lawrence Val-
ley Union Cemetery near Long Sault in Stormont Co. before the
Cemetery was covered by the developing Lake St. Lawrence in
1958.

Simeon Nicholas Ault and Mary Agnes Baker were married in
Aultsville on 5 Oct 1865 by the Reverend Richard Garrett.

Mary Agnes Baker, the daughter of William Hiram Baker and
Mary Stuart was born on 24 Nov 1840 in Osnabruck Twp. She
died on 1 Oct 1895, age 55, in Montreal and she was buried next
to her husband. Her gravestone was also moved to the St. Law-
rence Valley Union Cemetery.

Simeon Nicholas Ault and Mary Agnes Baker had 1 child.

5 N 62 Percy Baker Ault, b 8 May 1867, d 27 July 1898

Simeon Nicholas Ault was a part-time farmer and business man
who farmed the WV2 of Lot 34 in Concession I in Osnabruck Twp.
This was the Crown grant farm that his grandfather Nicholas Ault
had received via his Ticket of Location on 24 Nov 1785 and had
patented the property on 12 Mar 1797. Simeon was also a mem-

104

ber of the firm of I.R. Ault & Co. whose general stores were lo-
cated in Aultsville and Lunenburg. Simeon spent considerable
time in Montreal taking care of the Ault lumber business and other
interests.

After their marriage in 1865, Simeon and Mary Agnes lived in
the Nicholas N. Ault home and when Nicholas N. died in 1871
Simeon inherited the home and the property.

On 3 Sept 1895 Charles Sidney Ault, a nephew of Simeon,
married Ella M.V. Baker, who was the younger sister of Mary
Agnes, and arrangements were made for the newlyweds to move in
with Simeon and Mary Agnes. Although the results of this move
were not very satisfactory, Simeon continued to live in the house
after his wife Mary Agnes died at the age of 55 on 1 Oct 1895.
Simeon lost interest in the business after his son Percy died at the
age of 31 on 27 July 1898. He sold his share in the business and
the farm to his nephew Charles Sidney Ault. Charles Sidney also
bought the Nicholas N. Ault home from Simeon. Simeon then
moved to Acton, Ont. to be with his nephew Dr. Edwin D'Arcy
Ault. He died in Acton in 1905 and at the time of his death he
was the only surviving member of the firm of I.R. Ault & Co. He
was remembered in Aultsville as being active in community affairs,
as a staunch Presbyterian and as a conservative in politics and in
business affairs.

Some of the preceding information was obtained from the
Simeon Ault Family Bible that was inherited by Charles Sidney
Ault and maintained by his wife Flora Mac Arthur Ault. This Bible
is now under the care of Edwin F. Ault Esq. of Weston, Ont.

JACOB SIDNEY AULT 1831-1854

(Jacob Sidney Ault, Nicholas N., Nicholas, Johannes)

Jacob Sidney Ault, the seventh of 9 children of Nicholas N.
Ault and Margaret Ross was born on 6 Jan 1831 in the Nicholas N.
Ault home in Charlesville. He died, age 22, on 18 Mar 1854 in
West Henrietta, N.Y. and he was buried in East Woodlands Ceme-
tery in Stormont Co. Jacob Sidney Ault never married.

When Lake St. Lawrence was created in 1958, it covered the
Cemetery at Woodlands. Before this occurred, selected gravestones
from Woodlands and other cemeteries were moved to Crysler
Farm Battlefield Park where they were imbedded in the walls of
the Pioneer Memorial that was built in the Park near the entrance

105

to Upper Canada Village located in Dundas Co., Ont. The north
wall contains 4 Ault gravestones and one is inscribed as follows:—
"Jacob Sidney Ault, died Mar 18 1854, age 22 years, 9 months, 6
days." This gravestone was placed next to the gravestones of his
parents.

JAMES IRA AULT 1834-

(James Ira Ault, Nicholas N., Nicholas, Johannes)

James Ira Ault, the eighth of 9 children of Nicholas N. Ault
and Margaret Ross, was born on 16 Mar 1834 in his parents' home
in Charlesville/Aultsville. His death date and burial site have not
been located. He never married. In 1859 when he was age 25,
James Ira Ault joined his borther George Edgar Ault when they
left Aultsville and went to Dundas in Bridgewater Township in
Minnesota. Their sister Catharine Delilah Ault had married George
Newell Archibald of Stormont County and the Archibalds had
moved to Dundas. George Archibald and his brother J.S. Archi-
bald were developing the townsite that was to become Dundas in
Rice County, Minnesota and it seems evident that the Aults* move
to Dundas was influenced by their sister and the Archibalds. In
1859-1860 James Ira Ault and his brother George Edgar Ault built
what was to become the largest and best General Merchandise
Store in the area. It was a successful venture but James Ira left the
business after a few years for parts unknown. He returned and
when the 1859 census was taken in Bridgewater Twp. he was listed
as a bookkeeper in the mills who lived as a boarder in the Converse
household. A few years after the census was taken he left Dundas
and has been lost to follow-up.

1883. No information is available on Mrs. Southworth. There

106

were no children.

George Edgar Ault began his education at the Potsdam Acad-
emy in Potsdam, N.Y. and completed it at Fort Edward, N.Y. He
was age 21 when, in 1859, he and his brother Ira, age 25, left
Aultsville and went to Dundas, Minn. This move was undoubtedly
a response to the urging of their sister Delilah and her husband
George Newell Archibald. George Edgar and Ira built and oper-
ated a General Store in Dundas. Their initial investment in mer-
chandise was reported to be $3,000.00. Subsequently they erec-
ted a substantial stone building to enlarge the store. When the
1880 census was taken in Bridgewater Twp., George was listed as a
Druggist who lived in the Converse household. He was a member
of the School Board for many years and on 28 Apr 1881 he was
appointed a member of the Board of Health. In Feb 1879 Dundas
was incorporated, with a population of 500, and on 19 May 1879
George was appointed Treasurer. He held that office until 3 Dec
1883. He was a member of the Episcopal Church of the Holy
Cross in Dundas and the Rev. A.B. Hill of Northfield conducted
his funeral services. He was buried with Masonic Rites and his
obituary was published in the Faribault Republican on 26 May
1886. '

ered one of the oldest Masons in Ontario when he died. He was
also an active member, an elder and the Sunday School Superin-
tendent of the Presbyterian Church in nearby Woodlands. About
1900 he moved to Acton, near Toronto, where he served as coro-
ner. He became a member of the Acton School Board. In 1916

Their granddaughter, Mrs. Rielle Thomson, wrote the following to
me in 1974. "In 1936 Mother and I took a nostalgic trip to Hines-
burg, Vt. This is now a part of Burlington. We located the old
Ray farm and the family burial grounds on the farm. A cardboard
sign on the gate read 'Do not take the Tombstones.' The grave-
stones for C.C. Ray's mother and father were missing. The names
on the other gravestones were spelled incorrectly and many were
missing. The area was a reminder of the fate of neglected family
burial grounds."

MARY LOUISA AULT 1866-1962

(Mary Louisa Ault, Samuel, Nicholas N., Nicholas, Johannes)

Mary Louisa Ault, the eighth of 8 children of Samuel Ault and
Catherine Valentin Loucks was born on 14 Nov 1866 in the Sam-
uel Ault home in Aultsville. She died, age 96, on 21 Mar 1962 in
Belleville, Ont. and she was buried in the Belleville Cemetery.

Mary Louisa Ault, who never married, was always affection-
ately known as Aunt Mary. She lived in the Samuel Ault home,
Acacia Hall, in Aultsville until after the death of her father in
1895. She was educated in the local schools and at the Havergal
Finishing School in Toronto. She was briefly employed as a pri-
vate nurse in Chicago but when her mother became ill she returned
to Aultsville. After the Samuel Ault home was sold ca 1895 Mary
Louisa, her sister Ada, and her mother Catherine, moved to Mor-
risburg where Catherine died in 1914. This compiler and his wife
visited Aunt Mary and Aunt Ada in 1934 and found that Ada was
confined to bed and Mary was taking care of her. They were still
living in Morrisburg when Ada died in 1939. After Ada's death
Mary Louisa moved to Belleville so she could be near her widowed
sister Catherine Delilah Ault Gibson.

■

Mary Louisa Ault kept most of the family records of Births,
Marriages and Deaths among the Aults of Stormont County in the
Cottage Bible and Family Expositor that was initially owned by
her grandfather Nicholas N. Ault. Before she died, Mary Louisa
specifically stated that this Bible was to be entrusted to the care
of Percy Edwin Ault. His son Edwin F. Ault Esq. of Weston, Ont.
has the Bible under his care.

Another Ault Family Bible — The Illustrated Polyglot Family
Bible — is also owned by Edwin F. Ault, Esq. This Bible appears
to have been passed from Samuel to Simeon to Charles Sidney
Ault. Mrs. Charles Sidney Ault (Flora Mac Arthur Ault) kept rec-
ords in this Bible for several years.

These two Bibles are invaluable sources, and at times the only
sources, on the Aults and their descendants. They contain Birth,
Baptism, Marriage and Death notices and obituaries cut out of
local and regional papers. Legible and illegible information and
marginal notes written in ink by different individuals is mixed in
notices of family interest. Some of the information dating back
to the Loyalist soldier Nicholas Ault has been copied from records
that were kept before the Bibles were published in 1854 and 1869.

120

Between 1784 and 1869 this kind of information was not syste-
matically recorded by Township, County or Provincial authorities.
When the Vital Statistics Act of 1869 was passed, the recording of
Births, Marriages and Deaths began rather slowly for there was
considerable lack of compliance. As a result researchers involved
in obtaining Genealogical information prior to 1869, and in some
instances after 1869, have to depend upon family papers, Bible
and Church records and gravestone inscriptions.

Arthur William Ault was educated in the Aultsville Schools
and as a young man he worked in the Ault General Store in Aults-
ville where he learned merchandising and business practices under
the watchful eye and tutelage of his father Isaiah Richard. When
his father died in 1889 Arthur William, age 29, Charles Sidney, age
27, and the widow Mary Ann Loucks, age 52, were named Execu-
tors of the Isaiah Richard Ault Estate. When Arthur William mar-
ried in 1891 he and his wife lived in the Isaiah Richard Ault home
and when his younger brother Charles Sidney married in 1895 he
and his bride decided to live across the street in the Nicholas N.
Ault home. Arthur William and Charles Sidney shared in the man-
agement of the Ault General Store that was located on the north-
west corner of York and Nelson Sts. and in the other Ault business
ventures in lumber, coal, grain, feeds, brickyards and a store in
Lunenburg. They also found it necessary to have a representative
in Montreal. A younger brother, Harold Lucius, had gone west
and another brother, Alfred Ernest, age 20, was interested in an
adventurous military career.

While he was living in Aultsville Arthur had a great interest in
local community affairs and he was elected Reeve of the Twp. of
Onasbruck. He was also elected to represent Osnabruck when the
Counties Council met on 24 Oct 1892 in Morrisburg.

Around 1905 Arthur William sold his interest in the Ault Gen-
eral Store and other business ventures to his brother Charles Sid-
ney Ault and after the birth of his son John Gerald in 1906 the
Aults moved to Ottawa. He established a successful wholesale
boot and shoe business in Ottawa and when he died he left this
to his son Lloyd in 1916,

Arthur William Ault was a kind gregarious individual who soon
found himself involved in innumerable philanthropic and civic
causes in Ottawa. He became a Director of several organizations
including the Protestant Hospital. He was a Counselor for the
Board of Trade and on two occasions he was elected an Alderman
by a large popular majority vote. This made him a member of the
City Council. He was an Elder in the Bank Street and the Chal-
mers Presbyterian Church over a period of 14 years.

An extensive and eloquent obituary was published in several
newspapers after his death. His funeral service, conducted by the
Reverend N. McLaren and his assistants, with Masonic Rites, was
held in Aultsville. He was buried in Farran's Point Cemetery and
before this Cemetery was inundated in 1958 the remains were
transferred to the St. Lawrence Valley Union Cemetery near the
village of Long Sault in Stormont Co.

educated in the Aultsville schools and as a young man he lived
with his parents in the Isaiah Ault home which was located on Lot

123

8 (Belden page 22) on the north side of York St. at the corner of
Mill St. The Ault General Store was located next door on the
northwest corner of Nelson St. and York St. Charles Sidney began
working in the store at an early age and he soon took an active in-
terest in all of the Ault business ventures in lumber, coal, grain,
feed and merchandising. When his father Isaiah died in 1889,
Charles age 27, Arthur William age 29 and the widow Mary Ann
Loucks were named as executors of the Isaiah Richard Ault estate.
During the next 10 years Charles assumed an increasing responsi-
bility in the management of the Ault store and of the other busi-
nesses. He continued to manage the Ault enterprises until the
Lane family, who had bought the Samuel Ault home and farm,
bought the store and some of the Ault business ventures about
1930.

When Charles Sidney and Ella M.V. Baker were married on
3 Sept 1895, Charles was living in his parents' home which was
also occupied by his brother Arthur William, his wife Nellie Ellen
MacPherson and Mary Ann Loucks. Charles and Ella were invited
to move across the street into the spacious Nicholas N. Ault house
which was then occupied by his uncle Simeon who had married
Ella's sister, Mary Agnes Baker, 30 years ago. Unfortunately,
Mary Agnes died about a month after this living arrangement was
started. Simeon, the widower, continued to live in the home for
a few years but when Charles bought out Simeon's interest in the
home and in the Ault business ventures, Simeon decided to move
to Acton, Ont. where he lived with his nephew Dr. Edwin D'Arcy
Ault.

Ella M.V. Baker died in 1903 and Charles Sidney Ault married
Flora Minerva Mac Arthur in 1908. They took up residence in the
Nicholas N. Ault home and their two children Douglas and William
were raised in this spacious home and both of them were educated
in the Aultsville schools. Charles died in this Ault home in 1935
and his widow Flora was living in this red brick house when the
Ontario Hydro Commission took over all of the Aultsville prop-
erty to make way for the Power Dam and the Seaway Project at
Cornwall. By that time, in the 1950's, five generations of Aults
had been born and raised in the Nicholas N. Ault home.

pital in this city was the youngest son of the late I.R. Ault and a
member of the well known firm of general merchants, Ault Bros.
Ltd. of Aultsville. Typhoid fever and other intestinal troubles

CONRAD AULT 1750-

(Conrad Ault, Johannes)

Conrad Ault, the third of 9 children of the Loyalist soldier
Johannes Ault and his first wife Hannah Henkel, was born in Am-
sterdam on 9 May 1750. He was age 3 when he was brought to
British Colonial America in 1753 by his parents. Conrad spent his
growing years on his father's tenant farm on the Kingsborough
Patent. He was age 27 in 1777 when he became a Loyalist and
went to Montreal with his brothers Nicholas and John to join Lt.
Col. Sir John Johnson's K.R.R.N.Y. He was in Sir John's Com-
pany in the 1st Battalion when he was mustered out in Montreal
on 24 Dec 1783. He was with the family on their trip up the
St. Lawrence in 1784. He may have died of war injuries or illness
for his name disappeared from the lists of Loyalists who settled in
the St. Lawrence valley.

JOHN AULT AND HIS DESCENDANTS

2 J 5

JOHN AULT 1751-1833
MARGARET BOUCK ca 1764-1813

(John Ault, Johannes)

John Ault, the Loyalist soldier of Williamsburg and Cornwall
Twps. was the 4th of 9 children of Johannes Ault and .his first wife
Hannah Henkel. He was born on 11 April 1751 in Amsterdam in
the Netherlands and he was age 2 when his parents brought him to
Colonial America in 1753. He died, age 82, on 20 Mar 1833 on
his farm in Cornwall Twp., Stormont Co., in the St. Lawrence
river valley in Upper Canada. He was buried in the Mille Roches
United Church Cemetery that was located on the south end of
Lot 26 in Concession I, 3rd R., in old Mille Roches in Cornwall
Twp. When the Cornwall canal was built in 1834-1842 part of the
Cemetery was located between the canal and the St. Lawrence
river. Access to this part of the Cemetery and the strip of land be-
tween the canal and the river was provided by the Mille Roches
Tunnel that was built under the canal. In 1888-1891 the depth of
the canal was increased to 14 feet and the tunnel was abolished.
Access to the Cemetery was cut off and the Cemetery was aban-
doned. 71 This portion of the Cemetery could not be identified
by Helene B. Ault in 1946 and in 1958 it was covered by the
developing Lake St. Lawrence.

John Ault and Margaret Bouck were married ca 1788 in Wil-
liamsburg Twp.

Margaret Bouck, the daughter of the Loyalist soldier John
Frederick Bouck Jr. and Catharina Ingoldt, was born ca 1764
in the Schoharie Valley in Albany County in the British Colon-
ial Province of New York. She was baptised Margareth Bouck
on 2 Oct 1764 in St. Pauls Evangelical Lutheran Church in Scho-
harie and her sponsors were Anthony Wiedmer and Margaret In-
goldt. 72 Margaret was the sister of John Bouck who married
Sophia Wissell. In the Register of Matilda Williamsburg and
Osnabruck, Liber A on Burials, page 186 contains the following
entry: — "Buried 20 Mar 1813, Margaret Bouck Alt, consort to
John Alt of Williamsburg, died 18 Mar 1813 age 49 years"J3

John Ault and Margaret Bouck had 4 children whose birth,
baptism dates were recorded in the Williamsburg Parish Register
1790-1886.

In 1753 infant John Ault was age 2, his brothers Nicholas age
8, Frederick age 4, Conrad age 3, and David age 1 when the Ault
family came to British Colonial America. This family was living
proof that some families could survive a 6-8 weeks crossing of the
Atlantic on ships whose standards of sanitation were sometimes
deplorable, whose passengers were often plagued by dysentery
and who sometimes lacked adequate food supplies.

The Ault family allegedly lived in the Philadelphia area for 8
years, 1753-1761, before they moved to the Mohawk river valley
where their father Johannes became a tenant farmer on the Kings-
borough Patent of Sir William Johnson. John grew up on this
farm in Tryon County during the unsettled years leading up to the
Revolutionary War. He probably became a member of the John-
son's militia. In 1777, at the age of 26, he decided to join the
Loyalist cause and he left the Mohawk valley with his brothers
Nicholas and Conrad who were going to Montreal to join Lt. Col.
Sir John Johnson's K.R.R.N.Y. When his father Johannes sub-
mitted testimony on 16 Feb 1788 to a Loyalist Commission in
Montreal, he stated that he had sent 3 sons to the British army in
1777. John was one of these sons.

It appears that John Ault's service in Johnson's 1st Battalion
of the K.R.R.N.Y. was terminated by illness or war injuries before
the 1st Battalion was disbanded in Montreal on 24 Dec 1783, for
the name John Ault, age 32, does not appear on the Mustering Out
Roll of that date. His father Johannes and his brother Conrad
were listed as soldiers in the same Company. This oversight was
corrected when the Centennial Volume was published in 1885.
John Ault was then listed in Appendix B as a soldier in the original
roll of the K.R.R.N.Y.74

John Ault probably spent the winter of 1783-1784 in or near
Montreal or the refugee camps around Sorel. I have not been able
to determine if he was with the family or in a hospital. However,
it appears that he was with the family when they all went up the
St. Lawrence river to Iroquois. On 17 Dec 1787 the Honorable
John Collins issued a Ticket of Location to Owen Cameron and
John Ault for 200 acres of Crown land to each on Lot 3 and 4 in
Concession VIII in the Twp. of Cornwall. They promptly began
improving their land by erecting houses, barns and outbuildings.
They were later informed by Mr. Chewett, the acting surveyor for

176

the Eastern District, that the name Scott appeared on their Lot on
the survey map. On 5 Apr 1791 Cameron and Ault petitioned the
Land Board to clarify their situation for they felt that Scott's
name had been inserted in the survey map with fraudulent intent
and that they were the legal owners of the land. Their petiton
was granted and Ault and Cameron were declared the legal owners
of Lot 3 on 10 June 1791.75,76 John Ault subsequently sold this
farm.

In addition to the foregoing grant of Crown land for his serv-
ices as a soldier in the K.R.R.N.Y., John Ault was eligible to Peti-
tion for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land because he was the son
of the Loyalist soldier Johannes Ault. I have not located his Peti-
tion but I am presuming that the 200 acres of Lot A in Concession
VII in Cornwall Twp. that he patented on 3 Jan 1803 was received
in response to his Petition. This property was located on the
north side of the River aux Raisins. An abstract of the Title to
this Lot reveals that John Ault sold all 200 acres of the Lot to
Donald McDonell on 5 July 1804 as recorded 6 July 1804, #158,
Sheet 14/Liber A, Land Records of Stormont County.??

As the daughter of Frederick Bouck Jr. the Loyalist soldier of
the K.R.R.N.Y., Margaret Bouck was eligible to Petition for a
grant of 200 acres of Crown land when she married or became age
21. Her Petition was approved and on 17 Mar 1804 she received
her O.C. for 200 acres of Crown land.?8 In that same year she
patented all 200 acres of Lot 8 in Concession XI in Mountain
Twp.™

John Ault seems to have spent some time in Williamsburg
Twp. for he was listed as being of Williamsburg Twp. when he and
Margaret Bouck were married ca 1788. Their 1st child Nicholas
John was born in Williamsburg Twp. on 17 Dec 1789 according
to the Williamsburg Parish Register 1790-1886.80 John, Margaret
and Nicholas John moved from Williamsburg Twp. to Cornwall
Twp. between 1790 and 1793 for their second child, Maria, was
born on 4 June 1793 on their farm on Lot 3 in Concession VIII in
Cornwall Twp. The Williamsburg Parish Register lists John Ault
as being from Cornwall Twp. when Maria, Simon J. and Margaret
were born.

It seems quite possible that the John Ault farm on Lot 3 in
Concession VIII in Cornwall Twp. seemed a little remote from the
settlement of Cornwall for John sold this farm and bought 138
acres in the southern portions of Lot 18, 19 and 20 in Concession
IV in Cornwall Twp. This land was closer to Cornwall and the

177

developing settlements along the St. Lawrence river. The John
Aults spent the rest of their lives on this farm and it was inherited
by their son Nicholas John Ault.

John Ault also owned 100 acres in the WA of Lot 30 in Con-
cession II, 5th R., in Cornwall Twp. This was inherited by his
son Nicholas John Ault (1789-1857) and by his grandson Simon
William Ault.

John Ault seems to have established the Aults of Cornwall
Twp. on a solid base during his 19 years of residence in the Twp,
between 1793-1813. His son Nicholas John had 8 children and
some of these children could continue the family line.

(Nicholas John Ault, John, Johannes)

Nicholas John Ault of Williamsburg and Cornwall Twps. was
the first of 4 children of the Loyalist soldier John Ault and Mar-
garet Bouck. He was born on 17 Dec 1780 in Williamsburg Twp.
He died, age 67, on 22 May 1857 on his farm located on the WA
of Lot 30 in Concession II, 5th R., in Cornwall Twp. He may have
been buried on his farm or in the old Wesleyan Methodist/United
Churchyard Cemetery that was located in the southern portion of
Lot 31 in Concession I, 4th R., in Moulinette. This entire area was
inundated when Lake St. Lawrence was created in 1958.

I Nicholas John Ault and Addison were married on

date unknown.

Addison — no information.

Nicholas John Ault and Addison had 1 child.

Typescript.

II Nicholas John Ault and Catherine (Catarina) Hickey, both
from the Twp. of Williamsburg, were married on 10 Aug 1814 in
Williamsburg Twp. according to the Williamsburg Register, Liber B
on Marriages.

Catherine Hickey, the daughter of the Loyalist soldier John

178

Hickey and Margaret Casselman, was born on 2 June 1793 in Wil-
liamsburg Twp. She died, age 45, on 22 Jan 1835 on the Nicholas
John Ault farm located on the WA of Lot 30 in Concession II, 5th
R., in Cornwall Twp. She may have been buried on the farm or in
the old Wesley an Methodist /United Churchyard Cemetery in Mou-
linette.

Nicholas John Ault and Catherine Hickey had 8 children.

III According to the Marriage Register of the Eastern District,
Nicholas John Ault and Rebecca Campbell were married on 18
May 1841 in Cornwall. Their witnesses were John Hickey and
John W. Bush.

Rebecca Campbell — no information except to note that the
1851 Census for Cornwall Twp. listed her as a widow from Corn-
wall, age 52, born in Canada, a Methodist and the wife of John
Ault.

Nicholas John Ault and Rebecca Campbell had children.

Nicholas John Ault spent the early part of his life in Canada in
Williamsburg Twp. where he met and married an Addison. When
his son Levi Addison Ault was born on 30 Oct 1812, Nicholas
John Ault was age 23 and he was serving as a private in Capt.
George Merkley's Flank Company in the First Regiment of the
Dundas Militia. He was in active service from 7 July 1812 to 7
Jan 1813 during the War of 1812-1814. This was not a good time
for keeping family records among the pioneer settlers. It is quite
possible that the mother and child died during childbirth but there
are no known records to support this supposition.

As the son of John Ault the Loyalist soldier, Nicholas John
Ault was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land
when he became age 21. His Petition was approved and it appears
that he received 200 acres of Lot 30 in Concession II, 5th N., in
Cornwall Twp.

For his services in the War of 1812, Nicholas John received a
grant of 100 acres of Crown land in the EV2 of Lot 4 in Concession

179

V in the Twp. of Madoc. He was certified for the foregoing grant,
His Majesties Bounty, on 20 Feb 1816 by Lt. Col. W. Thomas
Fraser of the Dundas Militia. His O.C. for the foregoing grant was
issued on 29 Jan 1816.

Catherine Hickey, as the daughter of the Loyalist soldier John
Hickey, was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown
land when she became age 21 or married. Her father had been a
private in the K.R.R.N.Y. and he was a pioneer settler who had
drawn the E 1 ^ of Lot 3 in Concession 1 in Williamsburg Twp. He
patented this property in 1803. According to the Upper Canada
Land Petitions, Microfilm Reel 1610, her Petition read as follows:

"To His Excellency Francis Gore Esq. Lieutenant Governor
of the Province of Upper Canada, in Council:
The Petition of Catherine Hickey of Williamsburg
Humbly Sheweth

That your Petitioner is the daughter of John Hickey, U.L. of
Williamsburg Twp. and has attained the age of twenty one
years, and is married to Nicholas John Ault, and has taken
the Oath of Allegiance as required by law and has never re-
ceived any land or order for land from the Crown. Where-
fore your Petitioner prays that your Excellency will be
pleased to grant her 200 acres of Crown land and permit
John Crysler of Williamsburg to locate the same and take out
the Deed when completed.

and your Petitioner will ever pray
Sworn to by John Crysler J. P.
on 4 Jan 1816 Catherine Hickey Ault"

One of the affidavits that accompanied the Petition read as fol-
lows: ~ "Certified for His Majesties Bounty on Feb 20 1816 by
Thos Fraser Lt. Col. D.M. in reference to Order in Council of 28
Jan 1816."

The following notes were made on the Petition: — "The Peti-
tion of Catherine Ault D.U.E.L. (Daughter of United Empire Loy-
alist) for land as an E.L. was received this 8th Mar 1816 from J.
Craysler, I. Imoyle. 19 Apr 1816. Saalines, G.L. Went to E 130,
Page 1, 23 Apr 1816. Enter in Land Book 1 page 337".

It seems likely that the Aults sold or traded their Madoc, Cart-
wright and other properties when they moved from Williamsburg
Twp. to Cornwall Twp. The move appears to have been made be-
tween Nov 1815 when their first child John William was born in
Williamsburg Twp. and Dec 1817 when Simon William was born in

180

::■,.

Cornwall Twp.

Nicholas John Ault inherited, from his father John Ault, the
100 acre farm that was located on the WA of Lot 30 in Concession
II, 5th R., in Cornwall Twp. This farm was bordered on the east
by the road that became County Road No. 15. The farm was
served at various time by either the Mille Roches or the Moulinette
Post Office. This is of interest for in that era it was customary to
register births and deaths at the Post Office. As a result some of
Nicholas John Ault's children may be listed in some Bible records
and Township, County or Provincial records as being born in Mille
Roches or Moulinette when they were actually born on the Nicho-
las John Ault farm.

A small vignette of the social life of this family and their
friends was recorded in a notebook once owned by Stephen
Brownell. This was loaned to Helene Marie Bromwell Ault by J.C.
Harkness of Cornwall. The notebook contains the attendance rec-
ord of those who went to the social activities and meetings that
were held between 1827 and 1840 in the Wesley an Methodist
Church in Moulinette. The Leader of the meetings was Stephen
Brownell who kept the attendance records of the Cornwall-Mille
Roches Class No. 2. Catherine H. Ault was listed as being among
those who attended meetings in 1832. Nicholas John Ault began
attending the meetings in 1840 when the Reverend Mr. Tuke was
the minister. During one meeting, a stove located in the middle
of the room was fired by a log that was too long. As a result soot,
smoke and ashes littered the assembly before the stove could be
carried outdoors to avoid setting the building on fire. The name
of the person who fired the stove with the log was not mentioned.
The roll call at one meeting included William Raymond, John
Royce, Alex McNairn, Georfee Mattice, Nicholas Ault, George
Annable, William Forsyth and Gabriel Forester. A follow-up on
this group revealed that William Forsyth married Ruth Brownell,
Gabriel Forrester married Mary Hickey, William Raymond mar-
ried Sophia Mattice and George Mattice married Ruth Fennel.

When the 1851 Census was taken in Cornwall Twp. Nicholas
John Ault was listed as Nicolos, a farmer, age 64, a Methodist,
born in Canada. His wife Rebecca was listed as age 52, born in
Canada. The only child living at home was Zenas Gurley Ault,
age 16, and he left home before his father died in 1857.

In 1851 Nicholas John Ault granted the WA of Lot 30 in Con-
cession II, 5th R., in Cornwall Twp. to his second son Simon Wil-
liam Ault who became the third generation Ault to own this prop-

181

erty. At that time Simon William was married and living in Mille
Roches where the first 5 of his children were born.

MARIA AULT 1793-

(Maria Ault, John, Johannes)

Maria Ault of Cornwall Twp., the second of 4 children of the
Loyalist soldier John Ault and Margaret Bouck, was born on 4
June 1793 on the John Ault farm on Lot 3 in Concession VIII in
Cornwall Twp. According to the Williamsburg Parish Register,
Liber A on Baptisms 1790-1805, her parents were listed as Jo-
hannes Alt and Margaretha. She was born on 4 June 1793 and
baptised on 23 July 1793. Her sponsors were Johannes Hahn and
Magdalena Baush.

No information could be located regarding a marriage date or
a death date or a burial site for Maria.

Maria Ault, as the daughter of the Loyalist soldier John Ault,
was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land
when she married or reached the age of 21. No evidence has been
found that she Petitioned for land or received land.

SIMON J. AULT 1804-1877

(Simon J. Ault, John, Johannes)

Simon J. Ault of Cornwall Twp., the third of 4 children of the
Loyalist soldier John Ault and Margaret Bouck, was born in 1804
on the John Ault farm located on Lot 3 in Concession VIII in
Cornwall Twp. He died in 1877 and he was buried in St. Andrews
United Church Cemetery in Moulinette.

No information on Simon J. Ault could be located in the Fam-
ily Bibles or elsewhere. Simon, as the son of the Loyalist soldier
John Ault, was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of
Crown land when he became age 21. No evidence has been lo-
cated that he Petitioned for or received land.

MARGARET AULT 1805-1843

PETER MATTICE 1805-

(Margaret Ault, John, Johannes)

182

Margaret Ault of Cornwall Twp., the fourth of 4 children of
the Loyalist soldier John Ault and Margaret Bouck, was born on
1 Apr 1805 on the John Ault farm located in Concession VIII in
Cornwall Twp. According to the Williamsburg Parish Records,
Liber A on Baptisms 1805-1821, whe was baptised on 28 Apr
1805 and her sponsors were Septer Tracy and Elizabeth Cook. She
died in 1843 but her burial site has not been located.

Margaret Ault and Peter Mattice were married on date un-
known.

Peter Mattice, the son of Adam Mattice and Elizabeth Amanda
Rupert, was born in Cornwall in 1805. His death date and
burial site have not been located.

Margaret Ault and Peter Mattice had 5 children, all of whom
were born in Cornwall except Nelson Bates Mattice who was
born in Moulinette.

land when she married or reached the age of 21. This compiler
has not located evidence of a Petition or of a grant in her name.
After his wife died in 1843, Peter and his oldest son left Cornwall
and went to N.Y. State. The other children were raised by rela-
tives and friends. Peter and John have been lost to follow-up.

JOHN WILLIAM AULT 1815-1852

MARY JANE WOOD 1810-1885

(John William Ault, Nicholas John, John, Johannes)

183

John William Ault, the first of 8 children of Nicholas John
Ault and his second wife Catherine Hickey, was born on 22 Nov
1815 in Williamsburg Twp. The Williamsburg Parish Register lists
Nicolos Alt and Caty as the parents of John William Ault who was
born on 22 Nov 1815. His date of Baptism is not clear but his
sponsors were John Ault, John Hickey and wife. He died, age 37,
on 3 Sept 1852 on his farm located north of Cornwall Center on
Lots 18-19-20 in Concession IV, 5th R., in Cornwall Twp. He was
buried in the old Wesleyan Methodist/St. Andrews United Church-
yard Cemetery located on Lot 31 in Concession I, 4th R., in Mou-
linette. This was covered by the developing Lake St. Lawrence in
1959.

John William Ault and Mary Jane Wood were married on 29
June 1842 in Cornwall. An entry in Vol. 5 of the Book of Mar-
riages for the Eastern District reads as follows: — "John William
Ault and Mary Jane Wood, spinster, both of the Township of Corn-
wall were, by license, joined in marriage this 29th day of June in
the presence of Norman McDonell, William Wood and others."

Mary Jane Wood was the daughter of William John Wood, a
British soldier who came to the St. Lawrence valley before 1800.
She was born on 3 Apr 1810 in Cornwall. She was the sister of
William and John Wood. She died, age 75, on 20 Apr 1885 on the
John William Ault farm in Concession IV in Cornwall Twp. and
she was buried next to her husband in the old Wesleyan Method-
ist/St. Andrews United Churchyard Cemetery in Moulinette.

John William Ault and Mary Jane Wood had 7 children.

When the 1851 Census was taken in Cornwall Twp., John Wil-
liam Ault was listed as a farmer, age 37, born in Canada, a Method-
ist. His wife, Mary Jane Wood, was listed as age 32, born in Can-
ada and a member of the Kirk of Scotland. Their children, Oscar
age 9, Esther age 8, William Wood age 4 and John age 2, were all
living in the same household, were all born in Canada and were all

listed as members of the Kirk of Scotland. On page 279 in Lunen-
burg or the Old Eastern District a John Ault is listed as 1 of 6 Cap-
tains in the Cornwall Volunteer Corps Winter of 1838. This may
have been John William Ault who was age 23 and single at that

SIMON WILLIAM AULT 1817-1896

CAROLINE BROWNELL 1818-1881

(Simon William Ault, Nicholas John, John, Johannes)

Simon William Ault, the second of 8 children of Nicholas John
Ault and his second wife Catherine Hickey, was born on 17 Dec
1817 on the Nicholas John Ault farm located north of the Village
of Moulinette on the WV2 of Lot 30 in the II Concession, 5th R. in
Cornwall Twp. According to the Williamsburg Parish Register, his
parents were Nicolos Ault and Catarina. He was baptised on 11
Jan 1818 and his sponsors were Gabriel Forrester and Mary /Poly
Hickey. He died, age 79, on 20 Jan 1896 in Quebec while visiting
the home of his son-in-law, the Rev. T. J. Mansell. He was buried
in the old Wesley an Methodist/St. Andrews United Churchyard
Cemetery in Moulinette. This area is now covered by Lake St.
Lawrence.

Simon William Ault and Caroline Brownell were married, by
license, on 23 Apr 1844 in the Mille Roches home of Jesse B.
Hawley. Their witnesses were Gordon Hickey and Eliza Milross
according to the Records of Marriages in Eastern District.

Caroline Brownell, the 12th child of Joseph Thomas Brownell
of Aultsville and Elizabeth Potter, was born on 23 June 1818 in
Aultsville. Her mother was of Quaker ancestry and in 1822, when
Caroline was age 4, her father drowned in the St. Lawrence River.
Her father was buried in the old Wesleyan Methodist/St. Andrews
United Churchyard Cemetery in Moulinette. Caroline was prob-
ably raised in the Hawley household for she was living there as a
dependent when Simon went to live with the Hawleys in 1841.
Caroline died, age 62, on 24 May 1881 on the Simon William Ault
farm in the II Concession in Cornwall Twp. and she was buried in
the old Wesleyan Methodist/St. Andrews United Churchyard
Cemetery in Moulinette.

Simon William Ault and Caroline Brownell had 7 children.

Simon William Ault appears to have been a very enterprising,
resourceful and hard working man who accomplished a great deal
during his lifetime. Family history intimates that he did not ap-
prove of his father's third marriage in 1841 to Rebecca Campbell.
He was age 21 at that time and he left home and went to live with
Mr. Jesse R. Hawley who was a friend of the family. Mr. Hawley
lived in Mille Roches where he owned and operated a wool card-
ing mill which was located along the Mille Roches mill race. Mr.
Hawley taught Simon the skill of wool carding and it appears that
he was responsible for Simon becoming a Clothier. In 1844,
which was 2 years after Simon went to live with Mr. Hawley, he
and Caroline were married in the Hawley home. Mr. Hawley *s
kindness to Simon and Caroline was remembered several years
later by their son Levi Addison Ault who placed two of Mr.
Hawley's grandsons in advantageous positions in the Ault Wiborg
Ink Co. in Cincinnati.

During the early part of his career as a wool carder, Simon
acquired a wool carding mill in Mille Roches. It is not known
whether this belonged to Mr. Hawley or to someone else. Simon
also became a Clothier in Mille Roches and in Moulinette and he
soon established himself as a business man in these two villages
which were about a mile apart. The carding and cloth dressing
mill was destroyed and carried away in a flood about 1876.

In 1854 Simon's father Nicholas John gave Simon the Nicho-
las John Ault farm of 100 acres located north of Moulinette on
the WA of Lot 30 in the II Concession, 5th R. in Cornwall Twp.
Simon became the third generation Ault to own this property
which was still listed in his name when the Historical Atlas of
Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Counties was published in 1879
by H. Belden & Co.

The following business transactions may be of interest.

On 13 May 1854 Simon William Ault, a Clothier of Mille
Roches, received from Angus Bethune, a gentleman of Cornwall, a
l A acre tract of land being part of Lot 27 in the I Concession/Lot
34 in Mille Roches — consideration £5/.

On 6 July 1861 Simon William Ault grantee, from Elija Burpee
of Rockford, 111. and Myra his wife, one rod of land in Mille

186

Roches on the Kings Highway — consideration £200/.

In 1864 Simon William Ault of Cornwall, Yeoman grantee,
from the Hon. George Crawford of Elizabeth town in County
Leeds, a member of the Legislative Assembly and Elizabeth his
wife, grantors of part of Lot 37 in Cornwall — consideration £230/.

The preceding information abstracted from the Land Records
of Cornwall Twp. in Liber B 74-75 #436, #1377, #1396 indicate
that Simon's activities were divided between the farm and the vil-
lages of Mille Roches and Moulinette during the 1850s. He may
have moved his family to Cornwall in the 1860's so "his children
would be closer to the Cornwall Grammar School and to other
educational facilities in Cornwall.

Simon also developed some business interests in St. Lawrence
County in New York State for it was a simple matter to cross the
St. Lawrence river in a boat and he did so with some frequency.

About 1858 he established a tannery in Brashear Falls and he
placed his wife's brother, George Thomas Brownell, in charge of
this venture. It operated at a loss and the project was abandoned.
He had other interests in nearby New York State for on 17 Jan
1871 Simon William Ault and his wife Caroline of Ontario, Canada
were recorded as grantors to W.S. Bennett of a deed to a woolen
factory in the Village of Raymondville. On 17 Jan 1871 Simon
and his wife Caroline of Ontario, Canada were recorded as grantors
to W.S. Bennett of a deed to a Lot and water rights in the Town of
Norfolk, in St. Lawrence Co. Finally on 10 May 1872 Simon Wil-
liam Ault and Caroline his wife of Cornwall, Ontario granted by
deed to N.M. Spalding l A interest in l A acre of land in the Town of
Brashear in St. Lawrence Co. N.Y.

The information on Simon Auft's business ventures in Corn-
wall Twp. were abstracted about 1946 by Helene B. Ault from the
Land Records of Cornwall Twp.

The information on Simon William Ault's business venture in
St. Lawrence Co. N.Y. were abstracted for Helene B. Ault by
Maurice Gardiner in the County Clerk's Office of St. Lawrence Co.
Liber 90B, p. 152-155: Liber 92C, p. 415.

When Simon William Ault died in 1896 he undoubtedly left a
heritage of accomplishment, resourceful business enterprise, acu-
men and hard work for reflective consideration by his descendants.

(Margaret Cornelia Ault, Nicholas John, John, Johannes)

Margaret Cornelia Ault, the third of 8 children of Nicholas
John Ault and his second wife Catherine Hickey, was born on 18
June 1820 on the Nicholas John Ault farm located north of Mou-
linette on the WV2 of Lot 30 in Concession II, 5th R. in Cornwall
Twp. According to the Williamsburg Parish Register, Liber A on
Baptisms, 1805-1821, she was baptised Margreth Cornelia Ault on
27 Aug 1820 and her sponsors were William Casselman, Nancy
Hickey and Peggy Empy. She died on 25 Nov 1891 in Winches-
ter Twp. and she was buried in Maple Ridge Cemetery.

The Marriage Register of the Eastern District records that
Margaret Cornelia Ault and Adolphus Annable were married on
21 Sept 1840 and their witnesses were John Ault and Adolphus'
Aunt Mary Annable.

Adolphus Annable was the son of John Annable and Ann
Dixon of Cornwall. He was the grandson of the Loyalist soldier
Sgt. John Annable. Adolphus was born on 2 Apr 1811 on his
parents' farm located on Lot 28 in Concession II, 5th R. in Mou-
linette in Cornwall Twp. He died, age 64, on 28 Jan 1875 in Win-
chester Twp. and he was buried in Maple Ridge Cemetery.

Book I of Mortgages for Winchester Twp. in Dundas Co. re-
veals that on 13 Feb 1851 Adolphus Annable and his wife Cor-
nelia (Caroline) Annable granted a mortgage of $50.00, lawful
money of Canada, to her brother George Sidney Ault who was a
cloth draper in Winchester. Witness John H. Harrington and John
Dillabough.

It may be of interest to the Annable-Ault family line to know
that Susan, Sidney and Annie Annable never married. Catharine
married George Elliott and their grandson George Elliott in 1978
owned a General Store in Winchester. Alfred married Margaret

188

Kerr, the sister of Joseph Kerr who married Unetta Annable. The
Joseph Kerrs went to Gull Lake, Sask. and some of their descend-
ants were living there in 1968. Margaret Annable married Allan
Shaver and John Annable married Marion S. Gillies. There were
no living descendants named Annable in this line in 1978.

Zenas Gurley Ault was age 7 when his father married Rebecca
Campbell and he was age 22 when he went to Fond du Lac, Wis-
consin in 1856. He kept a notebook containing family informa-
tion. This was loaned to the writer in 1975 by Mrs. William Webb
Ault of Detroit. The notebook was a small leather volume size
4 1 /2x2 1 /2 inches containing 65 pages that he had labeled Gurley
Aults Notebook 1855: Fond du Lac, Nov 3 1856. It was an "im-
proved mettalie Memorandum Book manufactured by William Col-
lins of Glasgow and London." One of his first entries was made in
1855 and this reads — "George S. Ault bought a horse from Gurley
Ault on July 27 1855 for the sum of $15.00. Paid 1/3 down.
Signed Z.G. Ault." This indicates that Zenas was living at home in
1855 when he sold the horse to his brother George Sidney. The
next entry made in 1857 indicates that he was in Fond du Lac for
it reads — "Sold work horse for the sum of $125.00 on May 7
1857 to Dohlen and pardner, Fond du Lac." The third entry of
interest was made on July 12 1861 for Zenas had returned to
the St. Lawrence valley and had some financial dealings with
Adolphus Annable who was married to his sister Margaret Cor-
nelia. Adolphus sold him 1 overcoat for $9.50, 1 cape for $1.10,
l A soled boots for .50 and sold him 2 hogsheads of tobacco for
$1.00. Zenas paid Adolphus $25.50 in cash and he worked for
Adolphus for 2 months and received a credit of $25.00. Adolphus'
place of business is not revealed but one would assume that Adol-
phus owned a General Store which was probably located in Win-
chester, Other pages in the notebook contained some family birth
and death dates that enabled this compiler to complete some
records.

Sometime between 1861 and 1864 Zenas went to Wellington
in Prince Edward County where he was employed as a clerk in a
General Store. Here he met and married Nancy Adelaide Eastman
who was the daughter of Squire Eastman, a prosperous lawyer
who donated land in Wellington for a Methodist Chapel and
School. Zenas Gurley Ault spent the rest of his life in Wellington
where he owned and operated a hotel. All of the children were
born and raised in Wellington.

6 J 72 Lee Brownell Ault, b 20 Mar 1886, d 23 Nov 1918

Levi Addison Ault was educated in the Mille Roches Schools
and at the Cornwall Grammar School. He left home as a youth
and joined his older brother Charles who was working in Fond du
Lac, Wisconsin. Levi obtained work on the Sheboygan and Fond
du Lac railroad and two years later he became a bookkeeper for
the Goodrich Transportation Co. He held this position for 4 years.
In 1873 his brother Charles, who was employed and living in Cin-

200

cinnati, urged Levi to come to that city where the opportunities
for employment seemed greater than in Fond du Lac.

Levi came to Cincinnati in 1873 and in 1876 he began working
for the firm of James P. Gay and Co., processors of rosin, lamp
black and oils. As a result of this experience Levi developed a
method of preparing Printers Ink and the Ault Wiborg Printing Ink
Co. was conceived and formed in 1878 by Levi and Frank S. Wi-
borg. This became an extremely successful business venture and
it brought great wealth to both families. The Company was man-
aged by the partners until 1 Jan 1891 when it was incorporated
with Levi as President. The Ault Wiborg Company became nation-
ally and internationally recognized as the leader in the printing ink
field before it was sold and became one of the components of the
International Printing Ink Co. on 31 May 1923.

About 1904, Levi purchased 12 acres of the Elmhurst tract of
land that was owned by the Groesbeck family. He built a rather
large imposing stone house on the site and he named the estate
Mille Roches in memory of his birthplace. From this high ground
one had an impressive view of the Kentucky hills and the Ohio
river. Terraces, formal gardens and spacious lawns surrounded the
home where the Aults were privileged to have a luncheon for roy-
alty after World War I when their Majesties Albert King of the Bel-
gians and Queen Elizabeth visited Cincinnati. The King and Queen
were making a goodwill tour of the United States so they could
thank the people for their generous aid to the Belgian people.

In 1901, when Levi was President of the Commercial Club of
Cincinnati, he became interested in the Cincinnati Park System
and in 1908 he was appointed to membership on the Board of
Park Commissioners. He served as its President for a period of 18
years and during this time he became the Park System's greatest
benefactor (see Ault Parks).

During his years of residence in Cincinnati Levi was not only
an active member of the Park Board but he served on the Boards
of the First National Bank, the Union Central Life Insurance Co.,
the U.S. Playing Card Co., and the Cincinnati, New Orleans and
Texas Pacific Railroad. He was also a member of several social
clubs and country clubs in the metropolitan area.

When he died in 1930 his considerable estate was left to his
grandchildren. Later in the mid 1930s the Mille Roches house
was demolished, a street was put through the property, lots were
sold, and 8 houses were built on the street named Melville Lane.

George Clifford Ault was an artist of considerable talent and at
one time the American Embassy in London hung one of his paint-
ings. He spent the early part of his life in Cincinnati and lived on
Mille Roches farm near Redding, Conn, from 1934 to 1949. Dur-
ing that time my father, Walter Stanley Ault, corresponded with
Helene Marie regarding some genealogical connections. During the
summer of 1946 the Aults spent four valuable weeks gathering
information on the Aults of the St. Lawrence valley of Ontario.
They left Redding and returned to Cincinnati about 1949.

Helene Marie Bromwell spent more than 15 years gathering
information on the Ault family. She was a meticulous compiler
who sought accurate and adequate information on each individual.
She developed a bound 2 Vol. Typescript that she titled "The Ault
Family in Picardy" and "The Ault Family in Ontario." She
planned to develop the Typescripts into a genealogy but she was
unable to do so before she died in 1953. I am grateful to her son,
the late Charles Albert Ault II, for permission to copy the Type-
script. It has been an invaluable source of information in prepar-
ing the present Ault Genealogy.

John William Ault owns two parchment deeds that belonged
to his grandfather, Oscar Corodon Silvanus Ault. They are par-
tially legible and in 1977 Mr. Ault wrote the following to this
compiler: — "One Deed is for a grant of 150 acres of Crown land
in the Eastern District in the Township of Cornwall, County of
Stormont, to William Branan in July 1804. The other Deed is for
a grant of 100 acres of Crown land composed of the east half of
Lot 24 in the DC Concession in Cornwall Township to Lachlin
Macdonald dated 9 May 1855. Both Deeds bear the seal of the
Province of Upper Canada in the time of George III." The pres-
ent writer has not been able to determine why Oscar C.S. Ault
owned these two Deeds for no evidence has been found that he

222

, ■;

ever owned the properties mentioned in the Deeds. It is quite
possible that he recognized that they would become antique items
whose value would increase as they became scarce.

In 1929 John William Ault began his lifetime of executive
service for others as an employee of the Y.M.C.A. in Paterson, N.J.
He remained in Paterson until 1946 when he was transferred to
Rochester, N.Y. He improved many services of the Rochester
Y.M.C.A. and was active in civic affairs. In 1951 he moved to
Jersey City where he became the general executive for the Central
and other branches of the Y.M.C.A. He was largely responsible for
renovating the Central branch at a cost in excess of 1 million dol-
lars. From 1956 until he retired in 1971 he was the general execu-
tive and key figure in the renovation of the Worcester, Mass. Y.M.
C.A. and its educational branch. He was a Trustee of this branch.
He now lives in retirement at Bass River, Mass. and is a member of
the vestry of St. David's Episcopal Church in South Yarmouth.
He is a member of the Rotary and is actively teaching retarded

MICHAEL AULT AND HIS DESCENDANTS

2 M 9

MICHAEL AULT 1756-1829
NANCY ANN BROUSE 1763-1851

(Michael Ault, Johannes)

Michael Ault, the Loyalist soldier of Matilda Twp., was the
eighth of 9 children of Johannes Ault and his first wife Hannah
Henkel. He was born, the twin of Sophia Maria Ault, on 16 May
1756 in British Colonial America — probably in the Philadelphia
area. He died, age 72, on 12 Feb 1829 in the Iroquois settlement
in the Township of Matilda in Dundas County and he was buried
in the old section of Iroquois Point Cemetery. The epitaph on his
gravestone was legible in 197581 and in 1976.82

Michael Ault, age 28, and Nancy Ann Brouse, age 21, were
married in July 1784 in Montreal.83

Nancy Ann Brouse, the daughter of the Loyalist soldier,
George Brouse, was born in 1763. Her father had served in the
K.R.R.N.Y. and the family came to Matilda in 1784. She died,
age 88 years, 4 months on 15 Aug 1851 in the Iroquois settlement
and she was buried beside her husband in the old section of Iro-
quois Point Cemetery. The epitaph on her gravestone was legible
in 1978 and it read as follows: — Nancy (wife of Michael Ault,
died Feb 12 1829, age 72 years 26 days) died Aug 15, 1851.84

Michael Ault and Nancy Ann Brouse had 8 children.

Michael Ault and his twin sister Sophia Maria were the two
youngest children in the Ault family when they left the Philadel-
phia area between 1759 and 1761 and moved to the Mohawk val-
ley in the Province of New York. Michael undoubtedly spent his
early years working on the family farm on Lot 42 W on the Kings-
borough Patent. He was age 19 in 1776 when Sir John Johnson
and the group of Loyalist Scottish Highlanders, German, Dutch,

257

English and Ulster Irish tenant farmers, who were loyal to Sir John
and the British Crown, left the Mohawk valley and went to Mon-
treal. Many of these Loyalists had been in Johnson's personal
militia and they formed the nucleus of the 1st Battalion of the
K.R.R.N.Y. and of the Royal Highland Emigrants. This departure
undoubtedly impressed young Michael who remained in the valley
with the rest of the family. In 1780 the Aults, including Michael,
left for Quebec by way of Whitehall and Lake Champlain. In
1780 Michael, age 24, joined Lt. Col. Sir John Johnson's 1st Bat-
talion of the K.R.R.N.Y. and served as a soldier in Capt. John
McDonell's Company of Grenadiers until he was mustered out in
Montreal on 24 Dec 1783. When his unit was disbanded, Michael
was listed as a soldier, age 23, born in America.85

After his discharge in December of 1783 Michael probably
spent the rest of the winter of 1783-1784 with his family in one
of the refugee camps near Sorel. When the Aults and other Loyal-
ists left for Montreal, New Johnstown and the land they were to
settle along the north shore of the St. Lawrence river, Michael and
his bride Nancy were with the group. From available records one
would judge that the entire Ault family, after stopping at New
Johnstown, went on to the settlement of Iroquois in Township
No. 5 — Matilda. This became the gathering place for the Carmens,
Brouses, Aults, Walters, Boucks, Coons and many other Loyalists
who were destined to settle the area. Construction "Bees" were
probably arranged here when a log cabin or farm building was to
be built nearby. From this point one could set out to evaluate the
location and condition of the land that might become available for
barter, trade or sale. This would sometimes enable old friends to
obtain farms next to one another.

Michael seems to have been very resourceful, aggressive and
successful in his land ventures for his name appears more frequently
than any other Ault in the Indices of Land Grants and transac-
tions. I shall attempt to follow each property he acquired from
acquisition to disposal.

For his services to the Crown as a soldier in the 1st Battalion
of the K.R.R.N.Y., Michael drew lots for a grant of Crown land in
1784 in New Johnstown. Michael appears to have occupied his
grant before he received his handwritten Ticket of Location which
was issued later. It reads as follows on the front side: —

258

Johnstown the 20th June 1786
Township No. 5
West half of Lot 20 in front
Michael Ault

and the back side reads as follows: —

Michael Ault

I hereby certify that
this Ticket of Location
is in the handwriting
of Mr. McNiff and
that such ticket
has ever been considered
by the holder and by
me as an authority

W. Chewett
formerly Surveyor
for the Eastern
District

No. 5

Michael's name was entered on the WA of Lot 20 in Conces-
sion I in Matilda on McNiff's map of 1786. This 137 acres of
Crown grant land, acquired via Ticket of Location appears to have
become his home farm where he built his pioneer settlers log
cabin. Ke also began clearing and planting the land and in due
time a spacious farmhouse was built on the property. His farm
passed inspection by a Loyalist Commission and he obtained the
following affidavit before applying for a Patent.

"Surveyor Generals Office

26 January 1808

We hereby certify that Michael Ault is entered on the Quebec

Plan of the Township of Matilda for the west half of Lot No. 20

in the 1st Concession (The East half of the said Lot having been

described to John Meddaugh) and is clear of difficulty.

Chewett & Rideout
Acting Surveyors General "87

On 7 Jan 1807 Michael bought the John Meddaugh farm con-
sisting of 142 acres of the E l A of Lot 20 in Concession I in Matilda.

On 24 Feb 1808 Michael patented all 137 acres of the WA of
Lot 20 and on 31 Mar 1808 he patented all 142 acres of the WA of

259

Lot 20 according to Liber Q E Folio 86 of the Indices to Patents
for Matilda. On 8 Mar 1813 Michael sold 50 acres of Lot 20 to
Edmund Doran. On 18 Oct 1823 Michael bequeathed his home
farm property, now approximately 229 acres of Lot 20, to his son
George F. Ault who in turn bequeathed it to his son Guy C. Ault
who was Michael's grandson and the third generation Ault to own
this grant of Crown land. 88

During the time Michael and Nancy were living on their home
farm Nancy's father George Brouse and family were living on an
adjoining farm on Lot 21 and Michael's half brother Everhart Ault
and his family were living on the WV2 of Lot 19. These families
were considered to be among the pioneer Loyalist settlers in the
Iroquois community that became incorporated as the Village of
Iroquois in 1857.87

As the son of Johannes Ault the Loyalist soldier, Michael was
eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land when
he married or became age 21. Michael Petitioned for this grant in
1787 and received 200 acres of Lot 6 in Concession VII in Matilda.
It appears that both the Petition and the grant papers were lost or
misplaced and the following Petition represents Michael's attempt
to obtain papers declaring him to be the owner of this Lot. The
following handwritten material was not completely legible. It was
copied by me from Microfilm obtained in September 197790

"To His Excellency Francis Gore, Esquire, Lieutenant Governor
of the Province of Upper Canada, In Council:

The Petition of Captain Michael Ault of Matilda, Eastern Dis-
trict and Province of Upper Canada
Humbly Sheweth

That he has sometime in the year 1787 received and had pos-
session of Lot No. 6 in the Seventh Concession in the Township of
Matilda. He was sent his authority for the same some years ago by
the late Nicholas Farrand then Clerk of the Peace for said District.
Having searched all the offices for the same and since anything
cannot be found have reason to believe the same is mislaid or lost.
Wherefore your Petitioner prays that Your Excellency in Council
will order a new authority.

and your Petitioner will ever pray

The following affidavits accompanied Michael's Petiton of 16

Apr 1816:-
F 260

"Personally appeared before me John Crysler and duly sworn
made Oath and saith that he only searched the several land offices
for the original authority for the land which is claimed cannot be
found, has reason to believe they are mislaid or lost.

Sworn before me at York in the Home District in the Province
of Upper Canada this 15th day of April 1816.

John Crysler, J.P."

"I do hereby certify that the within Michael Ault is now alive, re-
siding in Matilda, that he has retained his Loyalty during the late
war and was under no suspicion of aiding the enemy.

Given under my hand at York this 15th day of April 1816.

John Crysler"

The following notes indicate the action taken on the Petition:—

"Petition received 11 April 1816 from John Crysler Esq. Referred
to the Surveyor General to report — by order I. Imoyle. Lot 6 in
the 7th Concession of Matilda reckoned on the Eastern Boundary
line of the Township and on the Quebec plan is located in the
name of Michael Ault and also on the District Schedule. That any
description has issue no authority is found in this office.
Surveyors Office Thos. Rideout, Turner L. Gene

11 April 1816

Warrant issued 24 Apr 1816. Entered Book 1 Page 340" 91

From the foregoing it appears that the office of the Surveyor
General confirmed that Michael's Petition of 16 April 1816 was in
order and that he should be declared the rightful owner of 200
acres of Lot 6 in the 7th Concession in Matilda that he had re-
ceived in 1787. Michael patented this property on 20 June 1816.

Before Michael's father Johannes died in 1796, he granted the
Crown land that he had received via his Ticket of Location to
Michael. The following papers identify the grant: —

S.G.O. 28 March 1807

Michael patented this property on 31 Mar 1807, according to
Liber Q.E. Folio s40 of the Index to Patents for Matilda. He sold
the entire 142 acres of the EV2 of Lot 19 in Concession I in Matil-
da to William Stamford on 7 Jan 1808.93

About 1797 Michael acquired, or received, 200 acres of Lot 11
in Concession III in Matilda, as recorded in Liber C Folio 596 of
the Index of Patents for Matilda.

The Petition and series of memoranda, all handwritten, that
follow indicate the problems that were encountered in recording
the granting and ownership of land in the early 1800s. This ma-
terial was copied by me in Sept 1977. The microfilm was not
clear at all times — nor is the material.

"Matilda January 24, 1811
May it please your Excellency :

Agreeable to my Provisional Land a statement concerning the
difficulty I have met with in the purchase of a Lot of Land from
George Kintner which I spoke to your Excellency of when you
lodged at my house on your way from Lower Canada last July. I

262

purchased from George Kintner the eastern 3/4 of Lot 27 in the
6th Concession commenced from the eastern boundary of said lot
of land. George Kintner holds government deed and is also on the
map for that farm as Mr. Chewett has informed me by certificate
at the same time John Saver has obtained a government deed of an
older date for the same Lot but is on the map for Lot 27 in the
5th Concession reckoned from the eastern boundary but it is in
the 6th Concession reckoned from the western boundary. I wish,
if consistent to have my title for the land that I have purchased
confirmed but if this may or cannot be done at present I wish that
your Excellency be pleased to grant that I obtain that intended for
John Saver which is now left vacant by mistake which is Lot 27 in
the 5th Concession reckoned from the eastern boundary.

"It does not appear that any deed has been completed in the name
of John Saver for Lot 27 in the 5th Concession in the Township of
Matilda. The description at the times the Surveyor Generals of-

mation your Excellency the Lt. Governor. It appears that in Mr.
Jarvis letter, which I now return, that Lots 20 and 21 in the 6th

and 21 in the 5th Concession reckoned from the eastern boundary
line of the Township and as the Patents are engrossed in the Attor-

that the Patent in the name of John Saver has completed conform-

between the patents of John Saver and George Kintner for the de-

Matilda reckoned from the eastern boundary of the Township and
the description to George Kintner in 1802 for the eastern 3/4 of

"Read in Committee 3 Oct 1811

It appears that by error in the Attorney Generals Office a pat-
ent has been issued to John Saver for Lots 20 and 21 in the 6th
Concession instead of Lots 20 and 21 in the 5th Concession on
which he was located and for which the description was obtained
from the Surveyor Generals Office. That a subsequent grant for
3/4 of Lot 27 in the 6th Concession was made to George Kintner
and by him sold to the Petitioner. The Council cannot adjudicate
the sales and transfer but if Saver persists to hold the grant it is
reasonable that the Lot described for him say 27 or 3/4 of 27 in
the 5th Concession should be presented to George Kintner or his

name inscribed on the plan in order that Ault and his

may claim under the Commission, when the order to such effect
will be sufficient sanction. The Surveyor General certified that
Saver is the original owner."

The foregoing material regarding the Petition of Michael Ault
on Jan 29, 1811 was obtained by me from Microfilm Reel No.
1610 in Sept 1977 94

Upper Canada Land Petitions also reveal that Michael Ault
Petitioned for land in Cornwall (Microfilm C 1610).

On McNiff's map of 1786 Michael Ault's name was inserted as
the owner of 100 acres of the WA of Lot 34 in Concession I in
Osnabruck Twp. and he is credited as patenting this property. This
may be in error for Nicholas Ault received this grant of Crown
land on 24 Nov 1785 and he patented the property on 12 Mar
1797.

Nancy Ann Brouse, as the daughter of the Loyalist soldier
George Brouse, was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of
Crown land when she became age 21 or married. On 6 Dec 1791
the Land Board, consisting of Messrs. Finley, Collins and Grant
recommended that Nancy Ault receive 200 acres of Crown land.
This recommendation to be recorded in Land Book B of Grants of
Crown Land in Upper Canada 1787-1791.95 This grant consisted
of 200 acres of Lot 26 in Concession V in Matilda. On 27 May
1797 this grant was patented by Michael and recorded in Liber C
Folio 596 of the Index to Patents for Matilda Twp. On 13 Mar
1824 Michael bequeathed 100 acres of the E l A of Lot 26 to his son
George F. Ault and 100 acres of the WA of Lot 26 to his son
Jacob Ault. On 15 Mar 1826 George F. Ault sold 100 acres of the
WA of Lot 26 to Thomas Sternburgh 96

During the period of settlement in the three Counties Lord
Dorchester, formerly Sir Guy Carlton, felt that a strong Militia
should be developed for home defense. On 20 June 1788 he com-
missioned Jacob Farrand to be a Captain of a Battalion of Militia
to be raised in the Townships of Matilda and Williamsburg.97
Michael, like most of his compatriots, was expected to serve in the
Militia. In 1803, when a Battalion of Infantry was being raised in
each of the 3 Counties, Michael became one of six Lieutenants in
the Dundas Battalion under the command of Lt. Col. Allan
McDonell.98,99

Michael appears to have pursued a part time career in the Mili-
tia for he was commissioned a Captain in the 1st Dundas Militia
and he served in that capacity during the War of 1812. During the
war he applied for materials to construct a guard house on Mr.
Shaver's point.100

The War of 1812 Losses Claims shows that Michael Ault filed a
Claim for losses sustained due to the war.101

266

In 1814 Michael became a private in the Provisional Light Dra-
goons of Upper Canada. 1^2

One of Michael's military achievements has been reported by
HarknesslOS who reveals that Captain Michael Ault had a brief
but victorious skirmish with some American Forces on 16 Sept
1812. Quote: — "There were three preliminary brushes in 1812-
1813 which were not without interest to the people who knew the
river front in Dundas. On 16 Sept 1812 a short distance west of
Point Iroquois about 500 American militia attacked a brigade of
bateaux with military stores en route from Montreal to Kingston.
This brigade was escorted by a detachment of a Newfoundland
regiment commanded by a Major Heath cote and a flank Company
of Dundas Militia under Captain Ault. The Americans had taken
up a position on Toussaints Island situated near the center of the
river, about opposite the property once owned by the Binions —
Lots 30 and 31 in the 1st Concession of Matilda. Between Tous-
saints and the mainland there was a small island — Presqu'isle. A
part of Captain Aults Company under Ensign Clark was ferried to
this island just as the Americans were about to land. The latter
were fired upon and they retreated to the larger island. The inhab-
itants quickly gathered and with our old friend, Colonel Alan Mc-
Donell at their head and with Captains Ault, Shaver, Munro, Dul-
mage and R.O. Fraser, who had brought along a 9 pounder cap-
tured from the French at Chimney Island, they soon compelled
the Americans to evacuate Toussaints."

Michael Ault, the Loyalist soldier, pioneer settler, farmer and
militiaman died without making a will on his Matilda farm at the
age of 73 on 13 Feb 1829.

Incomplete information indicates that William D. Ault and his
first wife Mabian Jane lived on their farm located west of Dixon's
Corners on Lot 21 in the V Concession in Matilda. Their 5 chil-
dren Helena, Etta, Daniel, William Jr. and Ernest Edward were
born and raised on this farm.

When the 1861 Census was taken in Matilda the occupants of
the William D. Ault household were William D. Ault, Mabian Jane
Ault, William Ault Jr. age 9, and Ernest Edward Ault age 7. Fur-
ther information on this family could not be found in 1946 and in
1975.

William D. Ault and his second wife Mary Ann McGruer were

281

married between 1871 and 1877. They lived on the same farm lo-
cated west of Dixon's Corners on Lot 21 in the V Concession in
Matilda and their 6 children were born on this farm.

The Land records for Matilda which are stored in the County
Budding in Morrisburg reveal that in 1880 William D. Ault sold a
part of this farm to W. Daniel. In 1884 Jacob Barkley bought
part of this farm from an Executor and in that same year Daniel
Ault conveyed the remaining part of the farm to his brother Wil-
liam Ault Jr. In 1887 Jacob Barkley as the Executor for William
D. Ault conveyed, by deed, the remaining property to Ernest Ed-
ward Ault. The reasons for these multiple changes in farm owner-
ship are not known. Ernest Edward Ault appears to be the last
owner of the William D. Ault farm and it would appear that his
father William D. Ault and his stepmother Mary Ann McGruer still
lived on the farm. At that time land in Matilda had all been taken
up many years ago and land could be obtained only by inheritance
or purchase. However, land for homesteading was available in the
Canadian west and by 1904 the William D. Ault— Mary Ann
McGruer family had decided that they would leave Matilda. Their
oldest son Alexander Jacob, age 26, and his younger brother How-
ard, age 19, took the train to Winnipeg to find out if homesteading
land was available. Alexander Jacob, who was known as Sandy,
visited some of the North Dakota Aults who had come to the
North Dakota Territory from Matilda in 1881. Sandy found that
the choice land in North Dakota was taken up and he returned to
Winnipeg. In late 1904 or early 1905 the two brothers obtained
homesteading land in Saskatchewan in the Bladworth settlement
which was located on the road that became Route 11 between
Regina and Saskatoon. They promptly felt confident of their
ability to homestead the 160 acres of land that was allotted to
each qualified applicant who was age 21 or older and they sent for
the rest of the family. Their father William D. was now age 82,
their mother Mary Ann was age 61, Margaret was age 20 and Ansel
was almost age 15 when they left Dixon's Corners and took the
train to Winnipeg. They arrived in Bladworth on Ansel's 15th
birthday — 13 June 1905. By 1908 they had proven their ability
as homesteading farmers who were entitled to 160 acres of land
for each homesteader. Those who were not of age became eligible
for grants later. William D. Ault lived for 3 years and Mary Ann
lived for 5 years in their Bladworth homestead. They died know-
ing that they had established the Aults in this part of Canada and
that their children had a proper start towards a secure future.

When the 1851 Census was taken in Matilda, George Michael
Ault was listed as age 28, born in Upper Canada and living with his
parents on Lot 23 in Concession 5 in Matilda. His brother Nicho-
las Michael age 20 and his sister Harriette age 12 were living in the
same household.

Sometime in the 1860s George and Lucy moved from the
Michael Nicholas Ault household to their own farm located south
of Irena on Lot 18 in Concession II in Matilda.

When the 1871 Census was taken in Matilda, George Michael
Ault was listed as age 54, a farmer, and Lucy was listed as age 40.
Their 5 children living at home were Simon age 17, Priscilla age
12, Lavinia age 10, Nicholas age 8 and Jacob age 1.

The Land Records of Dundas County in the County Registry
Office in Morrisburg, as abstracted by Mrs. P.A. Thompson of
Brinston in 1977, reveal that all or parts of Lot 18 in Concession
II in Matilda had several owners between 1870 and 1892. In 1855
George Michael Ault and Lucy Ann Strader occupied part of this
Lot that was apparently owned by George's father, Michael Nicho-
las Ault. The following transactions all refer to Lot 18. In 1870

288

George Michael Ault granted part of the WA to George Doran who
in turn granted the WV2 to George Michael Ault. In 1874 George
Michael Ault granted 1 acre of the WA to Charles Munroe and in
1874 Michael Nicholas Ault, in his will, left the entire Lot to his
grandchildren Simon, Lavina, Nicholas and Jacob Ault. In 1876
George Michael Ault, Nicholas Ault and Alex Eamon, as Execu-
tors of the Estate of Nicholas Michael Ault, granted a half acre of
land in the south end of the EV£ of Lot 18 to the Trustees of
School Section 23 for a School that was built on this property. In
1890 John Harkness as the Executor of the Estate of Michale
Nicholas Ault granted the NV2 of the EV2 to George S. Ault. In
1892 Simon M. Ault, George Michael's son, granted the south 50
acres to his brothers Nicholas and Jacob Ault; John Doran granted
1 acre in the S.E.C. to Nicholas Ault and Francis Munroe granted
Lot 18 to George Michael Ault. All of the preceding transactions
were by Deed except for the Michael Nicholas Ault grant to his
grandchildren.

In 1881 George, Lucy, Nicholas, Lavina and Ella were part of
the Ault family group that went to Winnipeg where they hoped to
obtain homesteading land in Canada. George's younger brother
Nicholas Michael seemed to be the leader of this migration and the
journey is described in his genealogy. The George Michael Ault
family joined the others who went south into the Dakota Terri-
tory and they all arrived in the village of Cavalier in October 1881.
They applied for homesteading land and in early 1882 George
Michael Ault and his family began their new life on 160 acres of
farmland located about 6 miles south of Cavalier in the NEU of
Section 5 in Lodema Twp. This farm was located across the road
from the Nicholas Michael Ault tarm and the two Ault brothers
and the two Strader sisters were neighbors for the next 10 years.

In 1892 the George Michael Ault family decided to return to
Matilda. George Michael was now age 69 and Lucy Ann was age
61. They sold their homestead and property to Nicholas Michael
Ault and returned to the home of their son Simon M. who had re-
mained in Matilda on Lot 18 in Concession II. Simon then con-
veyed, by Deed, 30 acres of Lot 18 to his brothers Nicholas, age
28, and Jacob, age 24. Nicholas obtained an additional 1 acre of
Lot 18 from John Doran. The father, George Michael Ault, ob-
tained 95 acres of Lot 18 from Frances Munroe and George and
Lucy lived on this property until they died.

In 1881 Paulina Mahala Ault and William J. Bush decided to
join Paulina's parents and her two brothers in their exodus from
Matilda. They were all seeking homesteading land in the Canadian
west and the addition of 10 members of the Bush family increased
the homesteading group to 32. After reaching Winnipeg, as out-
lined under the genealogy of the Nicholas Ault family, the Bushes

290

were the only family who decided to remain in Canada.

William, Pauline and the children began their homesteading life
near Elm Creek in Manitoba. A few years later they moved to
their new farm near Gull Lake in Saskatchewan. Paulina died
there and I understand that one of their sons, who has since died,
inherited this farm. Letters to two descendants in the family have
not yielded additional information. Recently, Mrs. Laura M. Gall
of Richmond, B.C., a descendant in the Bush family, was able to
send me some death and birth dates on this family.

NICHOLAS MICHAEL AULT 1831-1913
MARGARET STRADER 1834-1922

(Nicholas Michael Ault, Michael Nicholas, Michael, Johannes)

Nicholas Michael Ault, the fourth of 5 children of Michael
Nicholas Ault and Olive Jane Cory, was born on 19 June 1831 on
his parents' Crown grant farm located west of Dixon's Corners on
Lot 23 in Concession V in Matilda Twp. in Dundas Co. He died,
age 82 years 3 months, of pneumonia and cardiac failure on 11
Sept 1913 in the home of his son George who lived in Hensel,
Pembina Co., N. Dak. He was buried in the Ault plot in the Cava-
lier Cemetery in the City of Cavalier, N.D.

Nicholas Michael Ault and Margaret Strader were married on 4
July 1850 in the village of Iroquois, Dundas Co., Ontario.

Margaret Strader, the daughter of Simon Strader and Lavinia
Keck, was born on 10 Nov 1834 in Matilda. She was the sister of
Lucy Strader who married her husband's brother George Michael
Ault. She died, age 88 years 9 months and 4 days, of myocarditis
on 7 Aug 1922 in the farmhouse of her son Michael Nicholas Ault.
His farm was located on the NEV4 of Section 5 in Lodema Twp. in
Pembina County. She was buried beside her husband.

Nicholas Michael Ault and Margaret Strader had 12 children,
all of whom were born in Matilda Twp.

When the 1851 Census was taken in Matilda, Nicholas Michael
Ault was listed as age 12, born in Upper Canada and living with his
parents. When the 1871 Census was taken, the occupants of the
Nicholas Michael Ault household were listed as Nicholas Michael
Ault, age 39, and his wife Margaret Strader, age 36. In the same
household were Charles A. age 18, Olive (Aula) Henrietta age 14,
John age 12, Sophia age 9, Margaret (Maggie) age 6, Michael Nich-
olas age 4 and George age 4V6 months. By 1881 there were the fol-
lowing additions to the family — Josephus born in 1873, Joseph-
ine Catherine born in 1875, Maude Etta born in 1876 and Nina
Lavinia born in 1881.

Although Nicholas Michael inherited his father's farm on Lot
23 in Concession V in Matilda, one would judge that it was not
productive enough to support this family of 2 adults and 11 chil-
dren. Nicholas began selling the farm in 1870 when he sold part
of the SE Corner to Alpheus Thompson who also bought part of
the EVfc from Nicholas in 1875. In early 1881 Nicholas sold an-
other piece of the farm to R. Johnson and shortly thereafter he
sold the remaining acreage to his older brother George Michael
Ault.

About this time the Canadians in Ontario and the Maritime
Provinces and the Americans living in the Atlantic States were
being offered land for homesteading in the west. The Territories
and Districts in both countries were being transformed into Prov-
inces and States. The Province of Manitoba was formed in 1870
and the neighboring Dakota Territory became North and South
Dakota in 1889. In 1905 the Provinces of Saskatchewan and Al-
berta were established. By 1883 the Northern Pacific Railroad
was carrying passengers and freight between Ashland, Wisconsin
and Portland, Oregon. In 1881 the Canadian Pacific Railroad was
doing the same thing between dockside Montreal and Winnipeg
and in 1885 it reached Vancouver, British Columbia.

Land was being surveyed and roads were being developed for
transportation was now opening up the West. An epidemic of
"Land Fever" developed on both sides of the border. Canadian

292

homesteaders began arriving in Winnipeg. American homesteaders
who were interested in settling in the fertile northeastern part of
the Dakota Territory, made their way to the village of Cavalier in
Pembina County. In both places eligible male homesteaders, age
21 or older, were required to appear in person at the Land Office
where they could sign up for a l A Section of Public Land contain-
ing approximately 160 acres. The applicant had to pledge that he
would work and improve the land and pay the government a nomi-
nal fee for the land within a period of 5 years of residence.

This method of settling the prairie land of Canada and the
United States continued for more than two decades of the 20th
century. After World War I there was a great increase in the num-
ber of European immigrants entering both countries and they soon
began taking up land as far west as the Rockies. In Canada "Har-
vester Excursion Trains" originating in Quebec City and in Mont-
real brought shiploads of immigrants to Winnipeg and to the Land
Offices in Saskatchewan and Alberta. As a result, these two Prov-
inces became settled by ethnic groups whose communities and
farms became models of agricultural enterprise and cooperative
living.

The writer had a brief educational experience with some post-
war immigrants about 1920 when he obtained an August vacation
job as a sandwich and coffee boy on a Harvester Excursion Train.
It was an entirely Coach train and it was entirely filled with dark
haired dark eyed parents and children who did not speak English.
No blond blue eyed families of refugees were on this trip. The
interior of the train was hot during the day and cold at night dur-
ing the trip across northern Ontario. Families ate their own bread,
cheese and sausage. They bought some hot tea at night but they
rarely bought a sandwish or coffee. Poverty was evident and
apprehension showed itself in many ways but it was also evident
that they were all united in their quest and hopes for a secure fu-
ture. It was an unforgettable experience for this compiler.

By 1881 a number of the Ault families in Matilda had decided
to leave and seek homesteading land in the Canadian West. This
was a formidable and challenging venture for each person for none
of them had ever been far from their St. Lawrence valley areas.
Nicholas Michael Ault seemed to be the adventuresome leader of
the movement. He had sold all of his property. In 1881 he was
age 50 and his wife Margaret was age 47. They had 10 living chil-
dren whose ages ranged from 28 years to 6 months. Their eldest
son Charles was age 28 and married to Eliza Hayes who was age 20

293

and they had 2 children, Herman Michael age 3 and Martin age 1.
The Charles A. Ault family decided to join the group. Nicholas
Michael Ault's daughter Sophia was age 19 and married to Peter
Thompson age 27. They had no children and they decided to join
their parents and brother. Paulina Mahala Ault and her husband
William John Bush and their family of 8 children decided that
they would also seek land in the West. It is of interest to observe
that Nicholas Michael's older brother George Michael Ault and his
wife Lucy Ann Strader appear to be the last members of the Ault
family to loin in the exodus from Matilda. George had recently
bought the last piece of Nicholas Michael's farm on Lot 23 in Con-
cession V in Matilda. George and Lucy had 6 children and they
were older than any other adult members of the party. However,
in due time it was decided that the Ault brothers who had married
the Strader sisters would do well to try homesteading together.
George was a little more cautious than Nicholas and he left his old-
est son Simon M. Ault, age 24, in charge of their farm on Lot 18
in Concession II in Matilda while the rest of the family, except
Priscilla and Olivia, went to Winnipeg.

This exodus of 32 members of the Ault-Thompson-Bush fami-
lies can undoubtedly be duplicated in other family histories from
Stormont and Dundas.

When the group arrived in Winnipeg via the Canadian Pacific
Railroad in the late summer of 1881, they all expected to obtain
homesteading land in Canada. From some unrecorded reason the
Bushes were the only family who remained to homestead in Canada.
This writer has not been able to determine why the Ault-Thomp-
son families decided to cross the border and seek land in the Da-
kota Territory. However, they all left Winnipeg and 20 Aults and
2 Thompsons arrived in the village of Cavalier in Pembina County
in October 1881. Cavalier was the County seat of Pembina
County and a Land Office was located in Cavalier. Land in the
County was selling for $1.25 an acre in 1881.

In February 1882 Nicholas Michael Ault signed a government
agreement to pay $216.65 for his 173 32/100 acre farm that was
located about 6 miles south of Cavalier in the NWU of Section 4 in
Lodema Twp. About the same time his brother George Michael
Ault began homesteading across the road on 160 acres of the NE 1 ^
of Section 5 in Lodema Twp. The two Ault brothers and the two
Strader sisters were neighbors for the next 10 years.

Nicholas Michael Ault operated a successful farm for he soon
paid for his land and the Pembina County Clerk's Office issued a

294

Receivers Receipt to Nicholas. This stated that the property had
been paid for in full. On 10 Feb 1885 the Registrar of Deeds of
Pembina County issued a Deed to the Land to Nicholas Michael
Ault. It was signed by the 21st President of the United States,
Chester Alan Arthur. On 23 Dec 1890 Nicholas Michael Ault re-
ceived his Citizenship Papers and he became a full-fledged Citizen
of the United States of America.

In 1892 George Michael Ault age 69, and his wife Lucy Ann
Strader age 61, decided to return to Canada. They sold their 160
acre farm and homestead to Nicholas Michael who .now found
himself operating about 333 acres of farmland. This was a family
farm and a family farm operation where the children, grandchil-
dren and other Dakota relatives gathered for planting, harvesting,
picnicking on holidays, family reunions, marriages and holiday
celebrations. This was the homestead of the founding father of
all the Dakota Aults.

When Nicholas Michael Ault retired from his homestead farm
in 1904, he had achieved recognition as one of the outstanding
farmers and pioneers in Pembina County. He was a conservative
and wise counselor in County affairs. He fostered stability in the
community. Before he died he gave the George Michael Ault
homestead farm to his son Michael Nicholas Ault whose son Ray-
mond Chester Ault is presently the 3rd generation Ault to own
this property. Nicholas Michael's own homestead farm was left to
his son Josephus Ault. This farm is now owned and operated by
Vernon Martin Ault, his grandson, who is a 3rd generation Ault
owner of the property.

When Nicholas Michael Ault died in 1913, his extensive obitu-
ary reflected the feelings of the community which paid tribute to
his conscientious services in the Cavalier-Hensel area of Pembina
County. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
Cavalier and his funeral services were conducted by the Reverend
G.W. Roberts.

Alexander Jacob Ault was known as Sandy. He was 27 years
of age and his brother Howard was age 18 when the family de-
cided to leave Matilda and seek homesteading land in the Canadian
West. They took the train to Winnipeg and obtained homestead-
ing papers that permitted them to occupy 160 acres of homestead-
ing land in the Bladworth area. This was in early 1905 and they
decided to send for the rest of the family in Matilda. On 13 June
1905 their parents William D. Ault and Mary Ann McGruer, their
sister Margaret and their brother Ansel arrived in Bladworth in
time to help celebrate Ansel's 15th birthday. Their father William
was age 82 and he received 160 acres of homesteading land. Their
mother Mary Ann McGruer was age 61. By 1908 the family
proved their ability to settle and farm the land and they received
possession of 480 acres at Bladworth which was located on the
Provincial highway No. 11 between Regina and Saskatoon. This
family may be considered as being among the early pioneer settlers
in Saskatchewan.

the next census was taken, Charles was age 26 and had been mar-
ried to Eliza G. Hayes. Their son Herman was age 3 and Martin
was age 1. This family of 4 Aults were members of the Ault fam-
ily group of about 34 people who left Matilda in the late summer
of 1881 and took the train to Winnipeg. They all planned to ob-
tain homestead ing land in Manitoba or Saskatchewan but for some
unknown reason most of the members of the group decided to
cross the border and obtain homesteading land in the Dakota Ter-
ritory. Those who went from Winnipeg to the settlement of Cava-
lier included the Charles A. Ault family, the George' Michael Ault
family, the Nicholas Michael Ault family and the Sophia Ault—
Peter Thompson family. The Paulina Mahala Ault -William John
Bush family remained in Winnipeg for they planned to homestead
in Manitoba. It is quite probable that Charles and his family lived
with his parents on their homestead farm in Lodema Twp. until
Charles could find suitable homesteading land or until he could
buy a farm. On 8 Jan 1884 Charles found a suitable farm located
on the SWA of Section 4 in Lodema Twp. He paid $200.00 for
the farm and in early 1884 they all moved into their new farm
home. Charles' wife Eliza died, age 23, on 1 Nov 1884 on this

In the late summer of 1881 Peter Thompson, age 27 and So-
phia Ault, age 19 joined the Ault family exodus from Matilda Twp.
where all of the desirable land was largely owned and inherited
within family lines. They took the train to Winnipeg with the
Nicholas Michael Ault family, the George Michael Ault family, the
Charles A. Ault family and the Paulina Mahala Ault— William John
Bush family. They were all in search of homesteading land in the
3 prairie provinces but for some unrecorded reason they went
south of Winnipeg and crossed the border into the United States.
In Oct 1881 they arrived in the village of Cavalier in Pembina Co.
in the northeast corner of the Dakota Territory. The Ault-Bush
family were the only group who stayed in Winnipeg and home-
steaded in Manitoba.

It is quite probable that Sophia and Peter lived with Sophia's
family until Peter found suitable land. In Feb 1884 Peter found
suitable homesteading land located south of Cavalier on the SEU
of Section 4 in Lodema Twp. He paid $200.00 for this land and
the Receiver Receipt for this transaction is recorded in the Pem-
bina Co. Courthouse in Cavalier. The first 7 of the Thompson
children were born and raised on this farm. On 24 Dec 1894 Peter
Thompson bought a farm from John B. and Lizzie Verme and
according to the County records he paid $1,100.00 for the Verme
farm which was located in the NE J 4 of Section 17 in Advance
Twp. in Pembina Co. In 1897 Blanche Thompson was born in
Leyden, No. Dak. and she is presently living with her son Vernon
Fitzsimonds in No. Battleford, Sask.

It may be of interest to some of the Thompson descendants to
know that William never married, he joined the Canadian Army
and was killed in France during World War I; Maude died in Spruce
Lake, Sask.; Pearl was killed in an auto accident in Idaho; Charles
died in Grand Forks, No. Dak.

SOPHIA MARIE AULT 1756-

CONRAD SNYDER ca 1752-ca 1810

(Sophia Marie Ault, Johannes)

Sophia Marie Ault of Williamsburg Twp., the twin of Michael
Ault and the ninth of 9 children of Johannes Ault and his first
wife Hannah Henkel, was born on 16 May 1756 in the Philadel-
phia area of the British Colony of Pennsylvania. She died in Wil-
liamsburg Twp. in Dundas Co. Her death date and burial site have
not been located.

Sophia Marie Ault and Conrad Snyder were married on date
unknown in the Mohawk Valley.

Conrad Snyder, born Conrod Schneider, of Williamsburg, was
born ca 1752 in Try on Co., in the Mohawk River valley. He died
ca 1810 in Williamsburg and his burial site has not been located.

Sophia Marie Ault and Conrad Snyder had 4 children whose
birth dates have not been located. Three children were born in
Tryon Co. and one was born in Canada.

Sophia Ault was born and raised on her father's tenant farm
on Lot 42 W in the Kingsborough Patent of Sir William Johnson.
Sophia and Conrad were married and had 3 children before Con-
rad left the Mohawk valley to join Lt. Colonel Sir John Johnson's
K.R.R.N.Y. in Montreal. Sometime before 1786 the Snyders ap-
pear to have settled in Williamsburg Twp. on Conrad's grant of
Crown land in the WA of Lot 5 in Concession I.

Sophia Marie Ault, as the daughter of the Loyalist soldier Jo-
hannes Ault, was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of
Crown land when she married or became age 21. Her Petition of
22 Feb 1806 was approved and her O.C. for 200 acres of Crown
land was issued on 26 Feb 1806.104

Conrad Snyder appears to have been the son of Andreas
Schneider who farmed Lot 67 W in the Kingsborough Patent.
When the 1st Battalion of the K.R.R.N.Y. was mustered out in
Montreal on 24 Dec 1783, Conrad was listed as a soldier, age 31,
born in America, in Majors Company. His brother Adam Schnei-

442

der was listed in the same Company.

When Conrad Snyder made his will on 18 June 1802, he left a
considerable amount of property to his children. The will was
probated in the Surrogate Court of the Eastern District of Upper
Canada before Samuel Anderson Eqs. Judge of the said Court on 5
Feb 1810.105

hawk valley. She was older than her brother Everhart and she was
with the Loyalist members of her family when they went to Mont-
real in 1780. According to the records of the Williamstown Pres-
byterian Church in Glengarry County, she was the daughter of Jo-

EVERHART AULT AND HIS DESCENDANTS

g p in

EVERHART AULT 1765-cal851
ANNA MARY CHATTERSON

(Everhart Ault, Johannes)

Everhart Ault, the Loyalist soldier of Matilda, was 1 of 2 chil-
dren of Johannes Ault and his second wife Gertrude Rebecca
Boug. He was born on 20 July 1765 on his father's tenant farm
on Lot 42 W in the Kingsborough Patent of Sir William Johnson in
the Mohawk river valley in the British Colonial Province of New
York. This property was in Albany County until 1772 when
Tryon County was created. When Tryon County was divided in
1784, the Patent was within the limits of Montgomery County.
According to the Vosburg listing!09 of the Records of the Re-
formed Dutch Church of Stone Arabia in the village of Palatine,
Everhart was baptised Johannes Eberhardus Ault on 13 Sept 1765.
His sponsors were Johann Eberhard Cochnat and his wife Barbara.
He died ca 1851, or earlier, in the Iroquois settlement in Matilda
and he may have been buried in the old section of the Iroquois
Point Cemetery.

Everhart Ault and Anna Mary Chatterson were married ca
1786 in Matilda.

Anna Mary Chatterson — No information except to note that
the Williamsburg Parish Register of Baptisms, Liber A 1790-1805,
recorded her as the wife of Everhart Ault and the mother of Jo-
hannes, Catharina and Elizabeth Ault.

Everhart Ault and Anna Mary Chatterson had 8 children, all of
whom were born in Matilda Twp.

Although he was baptised Johannes Eberhardus Ault, he be-
came known as Everhart Ault. The Williamsburg Parish Register
refers to him as Eberhard Ault and some papers and records list
him as Ev'rt, Edward or Everett. These differences in spelling

445

should not be confusing if one remembers that the early Loyalist
settlers in the St. Lawrence river valley were learning to read,
write and speak the English language. The German language was
used in the Lutheran Churches and more than 30 years elapsed
before the English language came into use in the Churches.HO

During his childhood in the Mohawk valley, there can be little
doubt that Everhart was affected by the turbulent economic and
social unrest that prevailed in the valley preceding and during the
American Revolution. Everhart was age 11 in 1776 when Sir John
Johnson and many of the Mohawk valley Loyalists fled to Mont-
real. In that same year the Johnson properties and the farms of
other known Loyalists were seized by the American Patriot forces
and authorities. Everhart's father was no longer a Johnson tenant
farmer. The family moved to the Fonda area and in 1777 Ever-
hart watched his older half brothers Nicholas, Conrad and John
leave for Montreal where they planned to join Lt. Col. Sir John
Johnson's Loyalist forces. In 1780 some of the Ault family in-
cluding Everhart, left the valley and went to Montreal where Ever-
hart, at the age of 15, joined Sir John Johnson's K.R.R.N.Y. I
have not been able to determine how long Everhart served in Sir
John's forces for his name was not listed in the Mustering Out Roll
of 24 Dec 1783. He may have been mustered out at an earlier
date or he may have been in a military hospital at that time. How-
ever the error of omission was corrected when the Centennial vol-
ume was published in 1885 for he was listed as having been a sol-
dier in the K.R.R.N.Y. in that volume.

Everhart was with the family when they made the journey up
the St. Lawrence river to Montreal, to New Johnstown and to
Township No. 5 — Matilda, in 1784. He drew lots for his grant of
Crown land in New Johnstown and he occupied his grant of 137
acres of the WA of Lot 19 in Concession I in Matilda with the help
of a surveyor or one of his assistants. His Ticket of Location con-
tained the following handwritten information on the front sideHl

A copy of the Grant Papers for the WA of Lot 19 in Conces-

Note: The foregoing grant to Everhart Ault is an exact photo-
copy of the original in the Ontario Archives Ref: R.G. 1., C IV:
Matilda.

McNiff *s map of 1786 shows that the WA of Lot 19 in Conces-
sion I in Matilda was occupied by Edward (Everhart) Ault and the
WA of Lot 19 was occupied by John (Johannes) Ault.

Everhart decided that the WV2 of Lot 19 would be his home
farm. He was age 19 and he promptly began building his pioneer
settlers log cabin on his property. He also began clearing and
planting his 140 acres. He had been put on the Provision List in
1784 and this assured him of having food and supplies for 3 years.
In 1789 Everhart appeared before the Land Board and asked to be
put on the Ration List for he was now married and had a wife and
2 children to feed. His farm was not yet producing enough to sup-
port the family. His request was granted and he was put on the
List for Supplementary Rations.

On 5 May 1787 representatives of the Land Board inspected
Everhart's farm for each Loyalist settler who received a grant of
Crown land was required to show that he had improved his land
before he could apply for a Deed or Patent. Everhart 's farm
passed the inspection and the report added that Lot 19 in Conces-
sion I in Matilda was occupied by 2 men and 1 woman, presuma-
bly Everhart, John (Johannes) and either Everhart 's or John's
wife. On 31 Mar 1807 Everhart patented his home farm of about
137 acres of the WA of Lot 19 in Concession I in Matilda.H2

As the son of Johannes Ault the Loyalist soldier, Everhart was
eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land. A
search among the Upper Canada Land Petitions on Microfilm C
1615 revealed that Everhart 's Petition for a grant of Crown land
was filed on 3 May 1790 and read as follows: —

*To His Excellency the Governor—,—,—,—,—,— —,—,—, In Council
The Petition of Everhart Ault, late private soldier in the K.R.R.
N.Y.

Humbly Sheweth

That your Petitioner begs to represent that he has not yet received
the 100 acres Bounty for all surviving Loyalist settlers ordered un-
der the instructions of the year 1783 as also 100 acres for his wife
and child. And as your Petitioner conceives himself entitled to the
Bounty prays that it may be granted to him.

and your Petitioner in duty bound shall
Matilda, May 3 1790 ever pray

Everhart Ault"

448

The following notes, some of which were difficult to read,
were appended to Everhart 's Petition.

"District of Lunenburg 1790 Petition of Everhart Ault for 300
acres, 200 Bounty, 100 for his wife and child. Admitted to 200

Although the foregoing grant of Crown land to Everhart ap-
pears to be in response to his Petition of 3 May 1790, 1 am unable
to decipher the name of the Twp. where the grant was located.

I have not been able to determine how Everhart received all
of Lot 15 in Concession V in Mountain Twp. He patented this
property in 1801.116

On 18 Mar 1810 Everhart sold his Crown grant home farm on
the WA of Lot 19 in Concession I to Edmund Doran. Everhart
was age 45 at that time and I have not been able to determine
where he lived after 1810. His children were still young and his
last child Rachel was born in 1811.

NANCY AULT before 1789-1836
JACOB P. BARKLEY 1821-1849

(Nancy Ault, Everhart, Johannes)

Nancy Ault of Matilda, one of 8 children of the Loyalist sol-
dier Everhart Ault and Anna Mary Chatterson, was born before
1789 in the pioneer settlers log cabin that her father had built on
the W/% of Lot 19 in the I Concession in the Iroquois settlement in
Matilda. She died in 1836 in Williamsburg and she was buried in a
Cemetery in Williamsburg Twp.

According to the Williamsburg Parish Register Liber B on Mar-
riages, Nancy Ault and Jacob P. Barkley were married on 8 Jan
1816 in Matilda.

Jacob P. Barkley of Williamsburg was the son of Peter Barkley.
He was born in 1821 and he died in 1849. Further information
is lacking.

Nancy Ault and Jacob P. Barkley were the children of fathers
who had been Loyalist soldiers and each was eligible to Petition
for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land. Their Petitions were ap-
proved by the Lt. Governor in Council and each received their
O.C. for 200 acres of Crown land on 1 Aug 1833. The location of
their grants has not been determined by this compiler.

JOHN AULT 1790-before 1851
MARIA BEEBE 1805-after 1882

(John Ault, Everhart, Johannes)

John Ault of Matilda, one of 8 children and the only son of
the Loyalist soldier Everhart Ault and Anna Mary Chatterson, was
born on 28 Feb 1790 in the pioneer settlers log cabin that his
father had built on his Crown grant farm on the WA of Lot 19 in
Concession I in the Iroquois settlement in Matilda. According to
the Williamsburg Parish Register, Liber A on Baptisms 1790-1805,
John was baptised Johannes Ault on 27 June 1790. His sponsors
were his grandparents Johannes Ault and his wife Gertraudt. He
died, before the 1851 Census was taken in Matilda, on his farm
located east of the settlement of Irena on Lot 14-15 in Concession
III in Matilda. His burial site has not been located.

John Ault and Maria Beebe were married on date unknown in
Matilda.

Maria Beebe — no information except to record that she was
born in Lower Canada in 1805 and died shortly after 1882.

John Ault and Maria Beebe had 12 children — all of whom
were born in Matilda. The ages of the children, as recorded in the
1851-1871 Census, do not always agree with their ages, as recorded
in birth dates.

John Ault, as the son of the Loyalist soldier Everhart Ault,
was eligible to Petition for a grant of 200 acres of Crown land
when he became 21 years of age or when he married. A search of
the Upper Canada Land Petitions revealed that on Jan 28 1812
John Ault Petitioned for a grant of Crown land as follows: —

451

"To His Honor Isaac Brock Esquire President and Major General
of His Majesties Forces in the Province of Upper Canada, in Coun-
cil The Petition of John Ault of Matilda
Humbly Sheweth

pleased to grant him 200 acres of waste lands of the Crown and
permit Henry Markle Esq. of the Town of York to be his agent
and take out the Deed when completed.

and your Petitioner will ever pray

The following affidavits accompanied John Ault's Petition.

"John Ault maketh Oath that he is the person which he de-
scribes himself to be in the within Petition and is twenty one years
and upwards of age and has never received any lands or order for
lands from the Crown.

eight hundred and twelve, taken the Oath of Allegiance before me
as prescribed by law.

January 1812. S. Anderson, Commissioner."

The following notes were made on the disposal of John Ault's
Petition.

"The Petition of John Ault son of Everhart Ault, E.L., of Ma-
tilda received 12th February 1812 from Henry Merkle Esq. It
does not appear that the Petitioner has had any land by order of

A follow-up on John Ault's Petition of 28 Jan 1812 reveals
that the grant consisted of 100 acres of the WV2 of Lot 14 and 100
acres of the EV2 of Lot 15 both located east of the settlement of
Irena in Concession III in Matilda. This became a significant and
important grant for the land was eventually divided into several
Ault farms containing farmhouses, barns and outbuildings that be-
came "Home Farms" where some of the descendants of Everhart
and John Ault began their careers as farmers. This location enabled
the Aults to keep informed about other land and farms that be-
came available in the area. The Aults were thus placed in a posi-
tion to acquire valuable fertile farmland in the back Concessions.
As their need for new land increased they exchanged and deeded
land to one another. They acquired land from their neighbors and
they sold land to them. When their families increased in size and
they outgrew their sections of the "Home Farm " they left and be-
gan farming elsewhere in Dundas County.

The Home Farm of John Ault and Maria Beebe seems to have
been located east of Irena on Lot 14-15 in Concession III in Ma-
tilda. When the 1851 Census was taken in Matilda the John Ault
household was occupied by his widow Maria Beebe Ault who was
listed as age 45, born in Lower Canada, a Wesleyan Methodist.
Living in the same household were Sidney age 19, James age 18,
Ransome age 14, Lucy age 12 and John age 10. Maria's oldest son
Philip lived on the property with his wife and 4 children. Another
son Joseph S. with a wife and 2 children also lived on the property.

When the 1871 Census was taken in Matilda, the John Ault
farmhouse was occupied by his widow Maria Beebe Ault who was
now age 81. Their son John, who was age 26 and single, lived with
his mother. The rest of the children had moved and were living
elsewhere.

By 1882 Maria had conveyed most of Lots 14 and 15 to her
children and her last transaction in 1882 was when she gave the
farmhouse and the remaining lVz acres of Lot 15 to her son Philip.

The following footnote is made on this John Ault record.

In 1975 Mrs. Russell J. Ault sent information to me that she
had obtained from the Public Archives of Canada, showing that
John (Johannes) Ault received a grant of Crown land consisting of
the NEV6 of Lot 18 in Concession VI in Matilda. According to

453

Carter's "Dundas" a John Ault was the original patentee of the
NEU of Lot 18 in Concession VI in Matilda in 1836.

John (Johannes) Ault died in 1796 and his son John died in
1833. Michael Ault's son John died in 1829. The only living John
Ault in 1836 was Everhart's son John (1790-ca 1851). The unan-
swered question is — Did John Ault (1790-ca 1851) inherit and
patent his grandfather's property?

Philip Ault, the eldest son of John Ault and Maria Beebe, in-
herited a portion of the John Ault property which consisted of
half of Lots 14 and 15, located east of Irena in the III Concession
in Matilda.

When the 1851 Census was taken in Matilda, Philip Ault and
his wife Sophia and their 4 children were living in the farmhouse
of his widowed mother Maria Beebe Ault. Philip was listed as a
farmer, age 32, born in Upper Canada, a Wesleyan Methodist. His
wife was listed as age 32 and born in England. Their children were
listed as Harriette, age 9, Jesse Charles, age 7, Mary Ann, age 6,
and Annedra Susana, age 2.

When the 1871 Census was taken in Matilda, Philip appeared

458

to be living in his own farmhouse on Lot 14 in the III Concession
in Matilda. The occupants of the household were Philip, age 50,
Sophia Ann Edwards, age 50, Ellen, age 18, Sarah, age 16, Emily,
age 14, Hester Victoria, age 12, Marian, age 10, Aramentha, age 8,
and Philip Edwin Edwards, age 5. Their oldest son Jesse Charles
and his wife Mary Melinda Doran, age 24, and their 2 children
Edith, age 6, and George, age 1, were living in the Philip Ault
house which appears to have been built between 1851 and 1871.

The writer is indebted to Mrs. Patsy Ault Thompson, who in
July 1977 spent considerable time and dedicated effort in abstract-
ing the Land Records of Dundas Co. which were stored in the Reg-
istry Office in Morrisburg. These records indicate that Philip Ault
was the senior inheriting member of the John Ault descendants
who occupied Lots 14 and 15 in the III Concession in Matilda.
Transactions involving these properties, which began sometime
after 1812 when John Ault received the land as a Crown grant,
were frequent, complicated and sometimes incompletely recorded.

In 1886 Philip Ault granted, by deed, 16V2 acres of Lot 14 to
D. Larmer, and in 1870 Joseph Seeley and D. Larmer granted, by
deed, an unspecified amount of Lot 14 to Philip Ault. In 1891
and again in 1893 Philip Edwin Edwards Ault, the son of Philip
Ault and Sophia Ann Edwards, granted, by deed, an unspecified
amount of Lot 14 to John Doran. In 1893 Jesse Charles Ault, the
son of Philip and Sophia Ann, gave up his legacy and the dower
rights of his sister Ann Elizabeth of 10 acres of Lot 14 to John
Doran. The last transaction by an Ault involving Lot 14 took
place in 1893 when Philip Edwin Edwards Ault conveyed, by
deed, an unspecified amount of Lot 14 to John Doran.

The transactions involving Lot 15 in the III Concession in Ma-
tilda extend from 1867 to the present. This 200 acres of Crown
land was granted to John Ault in 1812 and some of it is still
owned by some of his descendants. John Ault's son Philip again
appears to be the most active participant in the early land transac-
tion, for in 1867 he conveyed, by deed, 1 acre of Lot 15 to his
brother Joseph S. Ault. In 1874 Philip conveyed, by deed, 2 acres
of Lot 15 to his sister Maria Ault, who was married to Albert Sel-
lers. In 1875, Philip conveyed, by deed, 7 acres of Lot 15 to
James Barkley. In 1877, Maria Ault conveyed, by deed, IOV2 acres
of Lot 15 to Laney Barkley, who was the wife of Maria's brother
Joseph S. Ault. In 1877, Laney and Joseph Ault conveyed, by
deed, l A acre of Lot 15 to Philip Ault. In 1882 Maria Beebe Ault,
in what appears to be her last transaction, conveyed, by deed, IV2

459

acres of Lot 15 to Philip Ault. Philip Ault's last transaction ap-
pears to have taken place in 1883 when he conveyed, by deed, 22
acres of Lot 15 to James A. Barkley. In 1893 Jesse Charles Ault,
Ann Elizabeth Ault, and Philip Edwin Edwards Ault conveyed, by
deed, an unspecified amount of Lot 15 to John Doran.

Transactions involving Lot 15 from 1925 to the present touch
upon the lives of Ault families that are living and for the present
further information is omitted.

Philip Ault's will, dated 28 May 1887 was witnessed by Arthur
F. Merkley and C.A. Myers. The executors were Charles Shaver,
John W. Gilson and Robert E. Bouck — all of Matilda.

The will provided that his wife Sophia Ann Edwards was to re-
ceive $300.00 per year, and she was to inherit the farm where the
testator now lives. Upon her death Philip Edwin Edwards Ault
was to inherit the property. Philip Edwin Edwards Ault was in-
structed to pay his brother Jesse Charles Ault the sum of $1,000.00
in six annual payments, beginning 1 year after the decease of the
testator, — — — — and to pay Elwyn Redmond $500.00 when he
became age 25, —.—.—.—. A bequest of $100.00 was made to the
poor in School Section 8 in the Twp of Matilda. To each of his
daughters who were married, a bequest of $10.00 or more.—.—.—,
and specifically giving $100.00 each to Annedra, to Susan and to
Ellen.

Maria Ault of Matilda, one of 12 children of John Ault and
Maria Beebe, was born on 17 Apr 1824 on the John Ault farm
located east of Irena on Lot 14-15 in the HI Concession in Matilda.
She died ca 1877 but her exact death date and the location of her
burial have not been determined.

Maria Ault and Albert Sellers were married on date unknown
in Matilda.

Albert Sellers — no information.

In 1874 Maria Ault Sellers received, by deed, 2 acres of land
in Lot 15 in the III Concession of Matilda. This was from her bro-
ther Philip. In 1877 Maria, by deed, conveyed 10V6 acres of Lot
15 to Laney Barkley Ault who was the wife of her brother Joseph
S. Ault.

Maria was not recorded as an Ault in either the 1851 or 1871
census in Matilda and it would appear that she married before
1851.

When the 1851 Census was taken in Matilda, George J. Ault
was listed as age 26, born in Upper Canada, and Episcopal-Meth-
odist and a laborer and shoemaker by occupation. His wife Eliza
Locke was listed as age 29, born in Upper Canada and an Episco-
pal-Methodist. Living in the same household were their children
Sarah N.M. age 4, Sabrina age 2 and an infant son who was waiting
to be christened.

461

When the 1861 Census was taken in Dundas County, the
George J. Ault family were listed as living in Mountain Twp.
George was listed as age 37, born in 1824 in Upper Canada and a
Wesleyan Methodist. Eliza Locke was listed as age 37, born in
1824 in Upper Canada. Their children living at home were Sarah
N.M. age 12, Sabrina age 10, Mary age 7, Allen age 4 and Rachel
age 2.

When the 1871 Census was taken in Matilda, the George J.
Aults had moved from Mountain Twp. to Matilda. George was
listed as age 47, a farmer-shoemaker and Eliza Locke was listed as
age 42. Living at home were Sarah N.M. age 22, Mary age 17,
Addea age 14, Rachel age 11, Allen age 9, Birth ea age 7, Lide age
5 and James Evert age 3.

The preceding information which was obtained from incom-
plete family records, family Bibles, census figures, birth and death
dates on record with the Township and County, illustrates some of
the problems encountered in compiling material for a Genealogy.
One can only hope that the figures presented are reasonably accu-
rate.

After their marriage in 1848, George and Eliza lived on a 30
acre farm located east of Irena on Lot 12 in Concession V in Ma-
tilda. When the 1851 Census was taken in Matilda, George, Eliza
and their first 3 children were recorded as residents of Matilda
Twp. When the 1861 Census was taken in Dundas County, the
family of 5 were living in Mountain Twp. Their length of stay in
Mountain Twp. is not known but it may have been related to
George's occupation as an accomplished boot maker for he was
widely known for the quality of his long leather cowhide boots.
He may have found it advantageous to move from Matilda Twp.
to Mountain Twp.

In or before 1868 the George J. Ault family moved from
Mountain Twp. to Matilda Twp. for the deed to their 30 acre farm
on Lot 12 in Concession V in Matilda had been transferred from
Richard Locke to George J. Ault. The family were thus included
in the 1871 Census in Matilda. Their last child, James Everett
Ault, was born and raised on this farm and he lived on the farm
until he married Susan Coons Gore in 1896. In 1900 George J.
Ault conveyed this farm, by deed, to his son James Everett Ault.
George and Eliza then moved to the James Everett Ault— Susan
Coons Gore farm near Hainsville. Susan Coons Gore was the wife
of their son James Everett Ault and she had inherited the farm,
located near Hainsville in Concession V in Matilda, from the Spink

462

family. George and Eliza died in the Hainsville home of their son
James Everett Ault and their daughter-in-law Susan Coons Gore
Ault.

When the 1871 Census was taken in Matilda, Lemuel Ault was
listed as Leonard Ault, age 17, living with his parents on their farm
on Lot 23 near Hulbert in Concession VII in Matilda.

Lemuel Ault was the second son of Joseph S. Ault and Laney
Barkley. The Land Records of Dundas County show that he was
involved in numerous transactions between various members of
the Ault family. Lot 23 in Concession VII in Matilda became his
home farm where all of his children were born and raised. This
Lot changed hands many times. In 1880 Lemuel received, by
deed from his uncle Philip, 30 acres of Lot 23. This 30 acres was
next conveyed, by deed, from Lemuel to Philip in 1882 and in
that same year Philip conveyed, by deed, the 30 acres to Almira
Ault who was Lemuel's wife. In 1888 James Ault, who was Lem-
uel's brother, conveyed by deed 9 acres to Lemuel. In 1888 Lem-
uel and Almira conveyed, by deed, 30 acres to James Ault and
James Ault in turn conveyed 30 acres to Lemuel. In 1890 Lemuel
conveyed, by deed, 6 acres to his brother Philip B. Ault and in
1890 Lemuel conveyed, by deed, 3 acres to his mother Laney
Ault. In 1896 James Ault and his wife conveyed, by deed, an un-
recorded amount of Lot 23 to Lemuel. In 1903 Jacob Taylor, by
deed, conveyed 20 acres to Lemuel Ault who, by deed, conveyed

483

20 acres to Joe Thorpe in 1914. Lemuel's last known land trans-
action was recorded in 1916 when he conveyed, by deed, an un-
specified amount of Lot 23 to John Thorpe.

These multiple land transactions undoubtedly served a purpose
at the time but they can confuse some issues for they did not al-
ways indicate where one lived and farmed nor when someone re-
tired from farming.

THE ST. LAWRENCE VALLEY AND AULTSVILLE

The objective of this part of The Ault Genealogy is to acquaint
descendants with the area where their antecedents lived and to re-
cord some of the circumstances that may have influenced their
lives.

In 1784 when the pioneer Loyalists began settling in the vast
wilderness bordering on the north shore of the St. Lawrence river
between Montreal and Kingston, some of the land had been sur-
veyed. The Township had been established in 1781 as the territor-
ial division for surveying purposes. The Loyalists drew lots for
Tickets of Location that would entitle them to settle on Lot _ in

Concession in Township. Thus, from the beginning,

the Township as a place of residence took precedence over County,
District and sometimes Province.

Our genealogical interest lies in the Aults who settled in the
Townships of Cornwall, Osnabruck, Williamsburg and Matilda.
These Twps. "fronted" on the St. Lawrence river between the
present City of Cornwall on the east and the Village of Iroquois on
the west. Behind each "Front" Twp. was a "Back" Twp. Behind
Cornwall and Osnabruck were the Twps. of Roxborough and
Finch. Behind Williamsburg and Matilda were the Twps of Win-
chester and Mountain. These were the Twps. where Crown land
was awarded to the soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Kings Royal
Regiment of New York and to their children. The soldiers of the
Royal Highland Emigrants received land east of Cornwall in the
Front Twps. of Charlottenburg and Lancaster and in the Back
Twps. of Kenyon and Lochiel. Taken together these Twps. consti-
tuted what became the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and
Glengarry.H7

Each Twp., approximately 9 miles wide and 12 miles deep,
was surveyed and plotted in the same manner whenever it was pos-
sible to do so. Concessions and farm Lots were created. Conces-
sion I was a strip of land running parallel to the St. Lawrence. It
usually contained a row of 37 farm Lots that were numbered in an
east to west fashion. The next row of Lots was in Concession II,
the next row became Concession III and so on until the northern
boundary of the Twp was reached. Each farm Lot contained 200
acres but the Lot could be divided into parcels of 100 acres, 50
acres or less. This general pattern of land division exists today and
if someone states that their farm is located on the WA of Lot 30 in
Concession II in Williamsburg Twp. one can readily locate this
farm on a suitable Twp. or County map. The first settlers can be

550

located in this manner on McNiff's map of 1786. The maps in
Belden's Atlas of 1879 can be used to locate Lot owners of that
date.

As previously noted, there is a striking similarity between Sir
John Johnson's plan for the settlement of this part of the St. Law-
rence valley and the Johnson plan for the settlement of their prop-
erty in the Mohawk valley. In the Mohawk valley the Scottish
Catholics were being settled east of Johnstown and in the St. Law-
rence valley they were settled east of New Johnstown (Cornwall).
The Protestant German, Dutch, English and Ulster Irish who had
been settled on the Mohawk west of Johnstown were settled on
the St. Lawrence west of Cornwall. It has been estimated that
1,462 men of Johnson's Kings Royal Regiment of New York and
the Royal Highland Emigrants occupied their lots before the Land
(granting) Boards were established in 1789. By 1815 the esti-
mated population of the area was 12,736.118,119

Although the land granting process changed from time to time,
most of the farm Lots in the Front, or first Concession, were
drawn and occupied by the Loyalist soldiers who received their
grants of Crown land via a "Ticket of Location." It has been re-
ported that these original settlers received 100 acres in Concession
I and 200 acres in a "Back" Concession.

The sons and daughters of these Loyalists were required to
Petition the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, in Council, for a
grant of Crown land. If their Petition was approved, they were
granted land, usually in the "Back" Twps. via an "Order in Coun-
cil" ~ an O.C.120

The Loyalists endured considerable hardship during their early
years of settlement. However, a rather prosperous lumber indus-
try developed as land was cleared for farming and raising livestock.
The St. Lawrence was the river of commerce and communication,
and lumber rafts carrying kegs of Potash were floated downstream
to Montreal. There were no real roads before 1825 but as these
were developed, stage coach travel between Montreal and Toronto
became a reality. The small settlements and villages en route fur-
nished food, lodging and a change of horses for the traveler. This
improved the local economic situation. When the Grand Trunk
Railroad was built in 1854-1856, between Montreal and Toronto,
the large wood burning steam locomotives found it necessary to
stop frequently for wood and water — later coal and water. As a
result, some increase in business activity was enjoyed by areas

551

where fuel stops and siding were located. In due time the railroad
put the Stage Coach out of business and when improved highways
were constructed the trucking industry took their toll of the rail-
roads.

Before 1900 the rural character of the United Counties was
well established. Most of the good land was family owned and in-
herited. With an increasing population the area became crowded
with more people than the land would support. Individuals and
entire families began leaving for the west that was being opened up
by the railroads. Villages, settlements and farms began losing peo-
ple to the cities. Property began to deteriorate. Diversified small
industry was needed to provide jobs for the young people. After
World War I the Counties became more aware of their plight when
it became evident that many small industrial plants had been
established in the Niagara area where cheap power was available.
Residents of the St. Lawrence valley had been talking about har-
nessing the power of the Long Sault Rapids for more than 50
years. It was acknowledged that this great Seaway and Power Pro-
ject would lift the Counties out of their economic decline. How-
ever this dream of cheap electric power needed to be transformed
into a reality. Meanwhile industry did not want to locate near
land that might be flooded, near highways and rail lines that
would be relocated or near villages whose entire population and
labor force might be abolished, if the Power Dam and Seaway
were developed.

The agony of uncertainty was relieved in 1954 when it was
officially announced that the construction of the Power Dam and
Seaway was underway. On 1 July 1958, Dominion Day in Canada,
the last coffer dam on the north channel of the Long Sault Rapids
was blown up and the power pool, known as Lake St. Lawrence,
began to develop. Some 3,000 acres of land were flooded for 40
miles above the great Power Dam at Cornwall. Ontario Hydro was
now ready to provide cheap power to the St. Lawrence valley and
industry began moving into the area. The Seaway locks along the
American shore could now accommodate the large carriers bring-
ing Labrador ore to the Great Lakes smelters. Grain and manufac-
tured exports could now go downstream in larger ships. 121 Al-
though the economic problems of the Counties was vastly im-
proved by cheap electric power and an influx of small industry,
some historical losses occurred.

The owners of approximately 1,000 summer cottages lost their
property along the north shore of the St. Lawrence above Corn-

552

wall. Small riverside settlements disappeared, six villages were de-
molished and their residents were relocated. The 875 residents of
Mille Roches and the 310 residents of Moulinette moved to the
new Village of Long Sault in Osnabruck Twp. The new Town of
Ingleside became home for the 180 former residents of Dicken-
son's Landing. The 210 residents of Wales, the 195 residents of
Farran's Point and the 310 residents of Aultsville also moved to
Ingleside. Part of Morrisburg was flooded after 1,000 families
were moved back to a new section of the Village. The Village of
Iroquois with a population of 1,050 was moved a mile back of its
former location. Some Churches, Cemeteries, Schools, Public and
private buildings and an innumerable number of stores and busi-
nesses were moved, relocated, abolished or abandoned. The Loy-
alist past was not forgotten and Upper Canada Village and Crysler
Farm Battlefield Park were created and developed. This was a
major restoration and reconstruction project representing the set-
tlement and living conditions of the pioneer Loyalists and the
early descendants. It is a living memorial and it is one of Canada's
national treasures. In 1977 the Lost Villages Historical Society
was founded. One of their objectives is to record, recreate and
collect some of the past that is beginning to fade in the memory
of those elderly citizens whose numbers are decreasing.

At least 14 Cemeteries would be covered by Lake St. Lawrence
and Ontario Hydro was required by law to publish a list of those
Cemeteries. They were also required to notify descendants that
they could have Hydro remove the remains and/or gravestones of
their ancestors to the new St. Lawrence Valley Union Cemetery
located on Lots 6 and 7 in Concession I near the village of Long
Sault in Osnabruck Twp. Some Ault. gravestones were moved to
this new Cemetery. Three Ault gravestones were moved and im-
bedded in the Pioneer Memorial in Crysler Farm Battlefield Park.
On 1 July 1958 the following Cemeteries were submerged by
the developing Lake St. Lawrence.

Aultsville was one of the casualties of the Seaway and Power
Dam. Its decline, deterioration and demise illustrates what hap-
pened to this village and to other communities along the north
shore of the St. Lawrence above Cornwall. Around 1880 Aults-
ville attained its greatest population of about 450 people. It was
known as a pretty little village located by the riverside in Osna-
bruck Twp. Originally known as Charlesville, the community had
been settled by Loyalists of German, Dutch, English and Ulster
Irish descent. They were largely Protestant in their faith and farm-
ers by occupation. Names such as Loucks, Freese, Albrant, Mor-
gan, Hickey, Ross, Ault, Impy, Hanes, Dillabough and Rose appear
in the annals of Aultsville history. The village received recognition
by the Postal Service when it began occupying space in the Ault
Bros. General Store in 1854 and the name Aultsville came into
use. I am indebted to Robert Kitchener of Cornwall for confirm-
ing the following as Aultsville Postmasters: — Isaiah R. Ault, 1 Apr
1855-4 Dec 1888; Charles S. Ault, 8 Jan 1889-18 July 1892; Ar-
thur W. Ault, 1 Aug 1892-27 Apr 1897; Charles S. Ault, 18 June
1912-9 Mar 1927.

The Aults can be considered among the Loyalist founders of
the village beginning with Nicholas Ault (1748-1812) who settled

554

on his 100 acre Crown grant farm on the WV6 of Lot 34 in Conces-
sion I in 1786-1787. Nicholas and his son Nicholas N. Ault (1793-
1871) laid the foundation for the business ventures that their de-
scendants developed and expanded. By the mid 1800's the Aults
owned and operated a shingle mill and a sawmill. They dealt in
Lumber, Potash, Coal, Grain, Feed and Land. They owned and
operated a General Merchandise Store in Lunenburg and in Aults-
ville where customers and the old folks could gather and dispense
words of wisdom on political, social and economic issues. Dr. Ed-
win D'Arcy Ault and Dr. S.A. Hickey were two Aultsville physi-
cians who helped usher residents into the world or assuaged their
departure from it.

A visit to the Aultsville of 1862 is illustrated by the H.S. Wall-
ing map of that year. The 1879 map of Aultsville, from the 1972
Facsimile Edition of Belden's Atlas of 1879, is of interest for it
illustrates the dreams of future growth that were never fully real-
ized.

A walking tour of Aultsville may be of some interest to Ault
descendants and it starts from the Government Dock at the foot
of Nelson St. Here is where ships and barges could load and un-
load cargo. The Ault Coal and Lumber Yard was located conveni-
ently and advantageously on Lots 20, 21 and 24. The Aults
owned and operated the sawmill (S.S.M.) that extended across the
creek to the high ground on both banks. Large timbers could be
cut here and timber rafts could be assembled for the trip down-
stream to Montreal. One could cross this lower mill pond outlet
by way of the Water St. Swing bridge. My father used to impress
me with tales of his hockey expertise on the lower mill pond until
I discovered that he was 12 years of age at the time. The Ault mill
pond property extended to York St. It was eventually sold to the
Lane family who sold it to the village for a park in memory of
those who died in World War 1.

The Nicholas N. Ault red brick house located on Lot 4 on the
southwest corner of York and Nelson Sts. was the oldest Ault
house in the village. It was built around 1800 by Nicholas N, Ault
and his father Nicholas. British Redcoats had been billeted there
during the War of 1812. It had served as an inn during the days
of the stage coach. Additions had been made to the house several
times. Mrs. Charles Sidney Ault, who died in 1978 at the age of
99, was the last Ault occupant of the house where 5 generations
of Aults had been born and raised before the house was demol-
ished in 1957.

555

The Simeon Nicholas Ault farm on the WA of Lot 34 appears
to form the western boundary of the village. This was the farm
that his grandfather Nicholas Ault settled on in 1785. Simeon
sold this farm to Charles Sidney Ault.

York St. was the main east to west highway through the village
and many of the commercial enterprises were located along the
eastern part of this street. The Ault General Store was located on
Lot 9 on the northwest corner of York and Nelson Sts. The last
Ault owner of this store was Charles Sidney Ault who sold it
about 1930. Isaiah Richard Ault, who ran the store most of the
time, built his home next to the store on Lot 8.

Nelson St. was the main street running north and south through
the village. The Honorable Samuel Ault, Member of the Legisla-
tive Assembly M.L.A. and Member of the Dominion Parliament
M.P., built his home, Acacia Hall, on the west side of Nelson St.
His property consisted of Lots 18, 19, 24 and 25. A small creek
ran through the southern border of the property. Samuel's gar-
dens, orchards and farm began on Lots 18-19 and the farm exten-
ded northward beyond the village limits. Mill Road was a lane
connecting Nelson St. to the upper mill pond and the Shingle Mill.
Mill St. ended where the Ault farm started. Dundas St. remained
as a lane through the Ault farm. Palace St. ended at the creek and
the lane beyond this led to the old Trinity United Church Ceme-
tery that had not been used since 1900. Before this Cemetery was
submerged, a new Methodist— later United— Church Cemetery was
established west of Nelson St. and south of the Aultsville Grand
Trunk Station.

The home and office of Dr. Edwin D'Arcy Ault was built on
Lot 40 on Nelson St. and Dr. Samuel Allan Hickey built his home
and office on Lot G on east York St. These two physicians were
friends who could readily trace their family friendship back to
their ancestors' days when the Hickeys and Aults served in the 1st
Battalion of the K.R.R.N.Y. The Hickey family was founded by
the Loyalist soldier John Hickey whose 1784 Crown grant farm
was located on the EV£ of Lot 3 in Williamsburg Twp. Part of this
farm, about 2 miles west of Aultsville, became the private Ceme-
tery of the Hickey family. 122 Some of the Hickey family grave-
stones were moved and imbedded in the walls of the pioneer Mem-
orial. John Hickey 's daughter Catherine married John Nicholas
Ault in 1814. As I write this I acknowledge, with appreciation,
the fine help I have received from George S. Hickey who is the
grandson of Dr. Samuel A. Hickey. George Hickey was born in

556

Aultsville, he attended the Aultsville schools and after graduating
from Queens University in Kingston he returned to teach in the
Aultsville High School. He now teaches History and English in the
Osnabruck High School in Ingleside where he lives. He is Vice
President of the Lost Village Historical Society.

The Loyalist Carmen family lived on Lots 1 and 2 on the
south side of Nelson St. This information was recently confirmed
by Arthur Carmen, a descendant in this family, The Loyalist Mor-
gan family, who lived on Lots 22 and 23 on the southeast corner
of York and Nelson Sts., were descendants of Sgt. William Morgan
who was a soldier farmer, born in Sligo, Ireland on 4 June 1752.
He had served in Burgoyne's Army and was later stationed at Isle
aux Noix. After his discharge in 1784 he drew lots for and settled
first on Lot 16 in Concession I and second on Lot 16 in Conces-
sion II in Osnabruck Twp. He died 3 Apr 1836 and he was buried
in Woodlands Cemetery. His gravestone was imbedded later in the
wall of the Pioneer Memorial. The Summers, who were of Loyalist
descent, owned a General Store on Lots 10-11 on the northeast
corner of York and Nelson Sts. Rrownell's Tannery was located
on Lot 7 at the corner of York and Mill Sts. He may have been a
descendant of the Brownells who settled back of Aultsville on
Lots 6-7 in Concession III (see Dorothy Isabel Ault). The Tin-
smith, a Mr. Nash, had his home and shop on Lot 14 on Nelson St.
On east York St. the Elliotts, of Loyalist stock, were farmers and
potters. One of their potters wheels is now in a museum in Corn-
wall. The land was rather flat beyond the Schoolhouse and Mc-
Connells' Brickyard. The next farm east of the Elliott farm was
owned by Wellington Ault (1839-1912) who inherited it from his
father John Nicholas Ault. Part of the Cook, Empy and Elliott
farms were within the village limits.

I am not qualified to present more than the preceding outline
of Aultsville that began as Charlesville and became Aultsville in
1854. It appears to have had its greatest development during the
"lumber years" and it then began a gradual decline. Many other
villages in the St. Lawrence valley found themselves in the same
or similar circumstances. When the Seaway and Power Dam pro-
ject was completed in 1958, the St. Lawrence valley received a
transfusion and a new era of economic recovery began for the
villages and the farms.

In 1934 my wife and I stopped in Morrisburg to see Aunt Mary
and Aunt Ada Ault who were age 68 and 86 respectively. We
asked them if they thought the Seaway and Power Dam would im-
prove living conditions in the St. Lawrence valley. Their answers
were a resounding yes— they were right 24 years before it took
place. 557

MISCELLANEOUS
AULT MIGRATIONS

Although individual members of the Ault family left the St.
Lawrence valley from time to time, only a few succeeded in devel-
oping an Ault family line.

The Ault family of Cincinnati was established in the 1870's
when Charles Albert Ault and his younger brother Levi Addison
Ault came to that city. Charles and Levi were both 5th generation
Aults from Cornwall, Ont. In 1870 Charles left Cornwall and be-
came employed in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. He brought his bro-
ther to Fond du Lac and when Charles was transferred to Cincin-
nati by his employer he urged Levi to seek employment in Cin-
cinnati. Shortly after arriving in Cincinnati they both started their
own business ventures that became very successful.

In 1881 there was a significant migration of Aults from Ma-
tilda Twp. in Ontario, to Winnipeg and the Dakota Territory.
Train service to the Pacific coast in the United States and in Can-
ada was opening up the country. Land for homesteading was
available on both sides of the border. The children and grandchil-
dren of Michael Nicholas Ault and Olive Jane Cory saw an oppor-
tunity that did not exist in the St. Lawrence river valley in 1881,
and 32 members of the family left Matilda to settle in the west.
Nicholas Michael Ault age 50 and his wife Margaret Strader age
47 appear to have been the leaders of this exodus. Seventeen
members of this family went to Winnipeg in search of homestead-
ing land in Manitoba or Saskatchewan. For some unrecorded rea-
son, this group crossed the border and settled in and around the
village of Cavalier in Pembina County in the northeast corner of
the Dakota Territory. Nicholas Michael Ault and his family can
be considered the founders of the North Dakota Aults. This
founding family consisted of Nicholas Michael Ault age 50 and his
wife Margaret Strader age 47. Their children were Charles A. age
28, Olive H. age 24, John age 22, Sophia age 19, Margaret age 16,
Michael N. age 13, George A. age 11, Josephus age 8, Josephine
age 6, Maude E. age 3 and Nina L. age 6 months. Charles' wife
Eliza Hayes age 20 and their children Herman Michael age 3 and
Martin age 1 were with the group, as was Peter Thompson age 27
who was married to Margaret Ault. This group accounted for 17
members in the Nicholas Michael Ault line.

568

Paulina Mahala Ault age 54, of the Michael Ault line, and her
husband William John Bush and their 8 children, added 10 indivi-
duals to the trip to Winnipeg. The Bush family settled in Canada.

The George Michael Ault family of 5 were the last to join in
this exodus. George Michael Ault age 55 and his wife Lucy Ann
Strader age 50 were accompanied by 3 of their 6 children: Lavina
age 20, Nicholas age 18 and Ella Strader age 6. Staying in Matilda
were Simon M. age 24, Priscilla age 18 and Jacob E. age 11. Those
who went west settled in Pembina County in the Dakota Territory.
They returned to Matilda 11 years later — in 1892.

About 1904-1905 William D. Ault and his second family, in
the Michael Ault line, decided to seek homesteading land in Sas-
katchewan. They were successful in establishing a line of Aults in
this part of Canada.

About 1910 three Ault brothers, Simon Colborne, John Rob-
ert and Hugh Henry Ault, all 6th generation Aults in the John
Ault line from Cornwall Twp., went to the State of Washington.
Hugh Henry can be considered the founder of the Aults in the
Spokane area.

SOME AULT GRAVESITES FLOODED BY LAKE ST. LAW-
RENCE

Monuments marking Ault Family gravesites were erected in
some of the Cemeteries that were flooded in 1958 by the develop-
ing Lake St. Lawrence. Each monument was inscribed with the
name of those buried in the gravesite. I am indebted to Elizabeth
Blair, Assistant Dominion Genealogist, for the United Empire Loy-
alists' Association of Canada for sending the following to me.

AULT FAMILY REUNION

In 1936 the following news item was sent to Helene Bromwell
Ault by John G. Harkness of Cornwall.

AULT FAMILY REUNION HELD IN AULTSVILLE
Winchester, Ont., Aug 4/(Special)

"Forty-one descendants of Simon Ault, one of the early set-
tlers of Matilda Township, who lived in Iroquois, were present at a
family reunion held at Aultsville on Sunday at the summer home
of Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Ault of Winchester and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph
Ault of Montreal.

Six sons and one daughter of tjie late John Wesley Ault and his
wife, the former Lettita Ellis, pioneers of the Shanly community
in Matilda with their families were present at the reunion.

The brothers were: T. W. Ault of Cornwall; J.W. Ault of Win-
chester; J.F. Ault of Morrisburg; William and Simon Ault both of
Pittston, Ont.; George Ault of Shanly and a sister Mrs. Thomas
Dunn of Ottawa. Of the family of 9, one brother Harvey of Seat-
tle, Wash, was unable to be present, and a sister the late Mrs. J.L.
Smith of Shanly died a number of years ago.

Mrs. J.W. Ault and Mrs. Ralph Ault were hostesses at the noon
hour luncheon and the thanks of the family for their hospitality
was voiced by Mr. Ault of Cornwall."

AULT REUNION

On Aug 6 1977 the second Ault Family Reunion was held at
the United Church in Shanly. Sixty descendants of Simon and
Julia Ault gathered around noon on the Church lawn to renew
old acquaintances with distant relatives and to make new ones.

571

After an hour of informal introductions everyone entered the
Sunday School Hall to enjoy a buffet lunch. Each family brought
enough food for themselves and then all was pooled to provide a
delightful variety of dishes. While people lingered over dessert,
Sam Ault welcomed everyone and thanked them for coming. He
then asked all families present to stand and to introduce the mem-
bers of their clan. It was an opportunity to learn a few details,
such as where relatives were living and in many cases, to learn of
the arrival of new grandchildren or dogs.

Tricia Ault Olsen read a brief history of the Ault family from
the time of their arrival in Canada as United Empire Loyalists.
This sparked a discussion of Ault origins, a subject to which Dr.
Tom Anderson was able to add information obtained from Dr.
Garnet Ault of Washington, who is writing an extensive history of
the Aults. There were also some lively anecdotes related by some
of the older Ault family members.

On display in the Hall were some letters written in the 1800's
and a goblet over 150 years old and a picture of a former picnic
in 1939. The oldest member present was Mrs. Delbert Connell of
Kemptville, and the youngest was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack
Smith of Spencerville. Guests were present from Toronto, Co-
bourg, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., Kingston, Ottawa, Stittsville, Batawa,
Kemptville, Brockville, Maitland, Ingleside, Morrisburg, Winches-
ter, Spencerville and Shanly.

From Samuel G.K. Ault to Dr. Garnet W. Ault on 26 Oct 1977.

THE AULT PARK IN CINCINNATI

In 1901 Levi Addison Ault became interested in the faltering
Cincinnati Park System that consisted of 396 acres. He was Pres-
ident of the Commercial Club at the time and as a result of their
interest he was appointed to the Board of Park Commissioners in
1908. He served as President of the Board for 18 years and when
he retired in 1926 he was known and recognized as "The Father
of the Cincinnati Park System.'*

At a meeting of the Park Board on 27 April 1911, Levi an-
nounced that he had acquired 143 acres of land that had been the
homestead properties of Mary Heekin, Eleanore W. Langston, Wil-
liam Munroe, Emma B. Thompson and Mary and William M. Nolan.
He stated that he intended to give this property to the City for a
Park if the City would construct a satisfactory roadway to an en-
trance to the Park. The Park Board accepted the gift on behalf of

572

the City. The Board also resolved that the Park shall be forever
known as AULT PARK.

About 1913 Levi and the Park Board decided that the Cincin-
nati Parks deserved special attention. Mr. George E. Kessler, a
landscape architect, was brought to Cincinnati and was given the
task of coordinating the development of a Park System and to
plan improvements for each Park. By 1919 the Cincinnati Park
System consisted of 2,200 acres that reflected the fine landscap-
ing talents of Mr. Kessler. Each succeeding Architect and Director
has left his mark on the Parks.

At a meeting of the Park Board on 10 Feb 1915, the following
item was spread upon the minutes: — "Whereas the City of Cincin-
nati has recently acquired for Park purposes, by condemnation,
certain properties known as Broadus and Nolan tracts, which prop-
erties are contiguous to Ault Park donated by Mrs. Ault and me to
the City, and as we are desirous of replenishing the entire amount
of the costs to the fund from which the properties and expenses in
connection with the acquisition were paid by your honorable
Board, I beg hand you herewith, a certified check on the First
National Bank for $4,440.00."

This addition to the 143 acres of Ault Park increased the size
of the Park to almost 230 acres.

Ault Park is located in the northeast section of Cincinnati and
the high ground in the Park provided one with a magnificent view
of the City, the Ohio River and the nearby Kentucky hills. The
Park Lookout and the Pavilion are favorite locations for family
picnics and gatherings. The Pavilion and Shelter were erected and
dedicated on 4 July 1930. The Park is generously supported by
the many Garden Clubs and Flower Societies in the metropolitan
area.

On 27 May 1936 the Commercial Club of Cincinnati, wishing
to commemorate Levi Addison Ault as the "Father of the modern
Park System in Cincinnati," presented Ault Park with a gigantic
rose granite glacial boulder that was placed on high ground in the
Park. A bronze plaque, designed by Clement Barnhorn, was
mounted on the boulder. The dedication ceremony was attended
by the Ault grandchildren and other members of the Ault family.
The plaque was appropriately inscribed as follows: — "He who
Creates Imperishable Beauty Deserves Himself to be Imperishable
in the Memory of all Succeeding Generations. This Park was the
Dream, the Conception and the Gift to the People of Cincinnati
of Levi A. Ault, Anno Domini M.C.M.X.I."

573

AULT PARK ON SHEEK'S ISLAND

About 1912-1913 Levi Addison Ault decided that he would
like to donate a Park, in memory of his parents, to the people of
Cornwall Township in the County of Stormont in the Province of
Ontario. Levi had been born and raised near and in the Village of
Mille Roches that was located west of Cornwall on the north shore
of the St. Lawrence river. During his childhood Levi, his brothers
and sisters and friends, had played on and around a huge glacial
boulder and he had fond memories of those carefree days. He ob-
tained 100 acres of land from O. Sheeks, at the head of Sheek's
Island. This island, at the head of the Long Sault Rapids, was
formerly known as Isle aux Roches. An area was cleared and
made suitable for recreation and picnics. A very large glacial boul-
der was placed as a marker on the site. On 23 May 1914 "Ault
Park on Sheek's Island" was dedicated and a bronze plaque was
attached to the boulder. It was inscribed as follows: — "To the
People of the Township of Cornwall. In Loving memory of his
Parents Simon William Ault and Caroline Brownell Ault who spent
Long and Useful Lives in this Immediate Vicinity in Mille Roches
and Moulinette. This Park is given May 23 A.D. 1914 by their son
Levi Addison Ault, Cincinnati, Ohio."

In 1946 George Clifford Ault and his wife Helene Bromwell
Ault visited Ault Park and found it neglected and overgrown with
shrubs, weeds and wildflowers. As a result they went to see the
Township and County officials. They discovered that the gift of
the Park had not been recorded in either office. It was an unfor-
tunate experience for the Park had been given to "The People of
the Township of Cornwall."

AULT PARK IN CORNWALL TOWNSHIP

When the descendants of Levi Addison Ault learned that Ault
Park on Sheek's Island would be covered when Lake St. Lawrence
was developed, they felt that a new Ault Park should be developed
on the mainland.

On 7 Oct 1960 Ault Park in Cornwall Twp. was officially
opened and dedicated when a glacial boulder and plaque were un-
veiled in the presence of J.C. Breden, the President of the Stor-
mont, Dundas and Glengarry Historical Society, Bromwell Ault of
New York City and A.A. Kennedy D.S.O. E.D.

The present Ault Park consists of 10 acres of land, at one time

574

owned by Stanley McNairn. It is located about 10 miles west of
Cornwall and 1V2 miles east of the Village of Long Sault. It is be-
tween Highway No. 2 and Lake St. Lawrence. It may be entered
by a short gravel road that ends in a parking lot for 12 cars. A
large glacial boulder surrounded by a circular gravel walk and
t flower beds occupies the central portion of the Park. A few Picnic

Tables and Benches have been provided for visitors.

AULT ISLAND

Ault Island is approximately 150 acres in size, located along
the north shore of Lake St. Lawrence about 3/4 miles west of the
submerged Village of Aultsville. The eastern 2/3 of the Island is
located in Stormont County and the Western 1/3 is in Dundas Co.
It is connected to the mainland by a causeway. Most of the north-
ern shore and land is a part of the Crysler Farm Battlefield Park.
The southern shore is occupied by summer cottages and year
round homes that face the main shipping channels of the river.

AULTSVILLE CREEK

Aultsville Creek that meanders through the eastern portion of
Crysler Farm Battlefield Park empties into the St. Lawrence oppo-
site the eastern end of Ault Island. It contributes to the marsh at
i the lower end of the Island that attracts waterfowl to the area.

AULT CREEK

Ault Creek in Matilda Twp. runs through the eastern portion
of the Village of Iroquois and empties into Lake St. Lawrence.

Sir John Johnson received his Commission as a Lieutenant
Colonel in the Home Forces from General Carlton at Cham-

Battalion of the Kings Royal Regiment of New York (also
known as Johnson's Royal Greens or Johnson's Royal York-
ers). The purpose of the Regiment was to "Protect the rights
of the Crown and those of private property, and it was to
serve only in America; nor was it to serve, except in special
exigencies, out of its own Province." This Battalion of about
800 men at full strength, was largely composed of men who
had been Johnson's tenant farmers and other farmers from
the Mohawk valley. It was disbanded in Montreal on 24 Dec
1783.

that were built during the early days of settlement were lo-

land or on land donated to the Church. Mrs. Merkley kindly
sent information to me on Births, Baptisms, Marriages and
Deaths that she abstracted from the following records, (a)
Early Lutheran Church Records of the Williamsburg Parish
1790-1826. In 1826 this Church and Parish became the
property of the United Anglican Missions of Matilda, Wil-
liamsburg and Osnabruck and the records are held by the An-
glican Church, (b) Williamstown Presbyterian Church in

76. Dept. of Public Records and Archives of Ontario: 17th report
by Alexander Fraser, Toronto, 1928-1929. The following
was abstracted from page 209. "The joint Petition of Owen
Cameron and John Ault, Loyalists, dated 5 Apr 1791, prays
the Land Board confirm the Location Certificates they re-
ceived on 17 Dec 1787 from the Honorable John Collins for
Lots 3 & 4 in the VIII Concession in the Twp. of Cornwall
and stating that they had improved same and built houses
and barns thereon; but Mr. Chervets, acting surveyor for the
District, information alarms them. He says the name Scott is
marked on Lots 3 & 4 which, as they apprehend, has been in-
serted with fraudulent intention."

The Petition was reviewed by the Land Committee con-
sisting of Messrs Finlay, Collins and Grant during their meet-
ing of 6 Dec 1791 as recorded in Land Book B, Grants of
Crown land in Upper Canada, 1787-1791. Their decision —
"Disputed Title examined and enquired into by the Board
and Petition of applicants granted."
